What you are describing is the difference between the soft dome in the Concertino and the ring tweeter in the Toy. Cables won’t make any actual differences however like any placebo they can be effective if you believe in the change. Changing amplification or using tone controls will alter the sound and may get them a little closer to what they are looking for. In my experience tube amps can add a bit of realism to instruments like cymbals and that can liven up a soft dome tweeter. It’s subtle so don’t expect it to shimmer quite like a ring or metal dome tweeter, but it should be a step in the right direction depending upon the amp/tubes. My experience is with Dynaudio speakers (soft dome) and the Willsenton R8.
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...
