I don't have sibilance problems, are my speakers dull?

Another poster asked for help dealing with sibilant performances.

It got me to thinking, the one thing I have not had a problem with in like forever is sibilance. Maybe this is because I don’t seek to make my system "revealing" which to me often just means bright.

I’m now kind of curious, exactly what kind of gear and recordings bring this problem out?

Best,

While I am no expert sibilant is the result of having a peak in the upper midrange (somewhere between 3.5-6kzh).  

Well designed speakers should not have sibilant issues no matter how revealing. The worst offenders I have come across are mid to lower model B&W speakers and several Sennhizer headphones. I have never had an issue on anything else.
