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,

I used to have bouts of sibilance with various recordings (Linda Ronstadt's "What's New" for sure) on Martin Logan SL3s and on Dynaudio Sapphires with the Esotar 2 tweeter.

I feel I have no sibilance ever anymore on pretty much any recording I own since moving to Raidho D2s (sealed ribbon tweeter).  What is even better is that the D2's far superior resolution is simply stunning and they have opened up every recording I own over the other speakers. The greatest tweeter ever for me (and mid-woofers).

That last sentence made me smile remembering my listening skills, or lack of skills, some 20-30 years ago.  Some lessons weren't fun. grin.
