I’m with twoleftears on these points.
1) I love the sound of an orchestra live - it’s never shrill even though there’s a lot of high frequency information.
2) one set of my speakers has a metal dome tweeter and I’ll never make that mistake again. I can’t tame it no matter what changes to electronics and cables I’ve made. Metal and tweeters are a bad combination in my experience.
3) early DGG - heck most any recording by Deutsche Grammophone is nearly unlistenable. It’s too bad because there were some really great performances that were very poorly recorded. I have a recording of Mahler’s 5th by DG that is so unbelieavably bad, it’s a wonder they ever released it. Do those guys actually listen to these things when mastering? Maybe the tweeters were blown out in the mastering room. It was a gift from my dad, or I would have returned it!
