Can "Dark"Sounding Speakers Be "Brightened"UP???

One of my buds has a pair of the original Sonus Faber Concertino speakers(bi-wireable)partnered with a Peachtree Audio Decco,driven by a HP Laptop & cabled with all Audioquest copper cables(usb,power & speaker).While listening to my new Toy Monitors & Peachtree Audio MusicBox driven by an Asus Laptop recently he commented that he was able to hear treble frequencies(especially cymbals)on my system much better than on his & wondered if anything short of changing speakers could be done.
I have read that Silver Plated Copper cables tend to sound a touch brighter than all copper & was wondering if you folks think switching to all Silver Plated Copper(i'm thinking Nordost or DH Labs)cables might bring the treble up a bit in his system?
Thanks for your input,take care...

Starting at $149 you can buy a Schiit Loki Mini+ four band equalizer which will allow you to experiment with different settings to your heart's content. For $300, their Lokius expands this to a six band EQ. (They also have a still fancier unit for $1,500....)

I've always found it interesting that many audiophiles are so willing to adjust the tone quality of their system with wires, amps or preamps that offer only one change in the frequency balance of their system but won't consider a device that lets them quickly adjust the tone as needed by different recordings.

Just a thought....
