sibilence....any cures out there?


I have recently accuired a pair of Nola Viper 1A speakers, while their performence is outstanding generally, the only problem is highlighted sibilence on vocals which is very annoying!!! Is this down to the speakers? Would a change of interconnects help? Any ideas from you guys would be appreciated greatly...

Sibilance is usually evident in an ultra detailed tweeter. Cause is a usually a bright source. Many recordings (vinyl or CD) are not the best, which can excite the tweeter. Cables can tone things down a bit, but if it's really a problem you might look at your amp and or source. A chain of ultra revealing components can get harsh on all but the best of recordings. One or the other, or both, may be the issue. Or maybe the tweeter in the Nola is just not to your liking.

Did you have this issue with your previous speakers?
