Which frequency to adjust if voices/mids give me a headache.

I just picked up an NAD M10 v2 and two sets of speakers (Wharfedale 4.2 and Lintons to try).  I know I'm really sensitive to mids/highs (not sure which).  Voices seem to bother me. I've done Dirac room correction and both sets of speakers still bother me a bit.  These are not bright speakers I know.  

Within Dirac I can adjust some frequencies and then save to the M10.  What frequency should I target first and any thoughts on how many db I should adjust? 

Btw - never had any issues with Diamond 225 speakers.  But I'm ready to upgrade. 

Thanks!

Something else to consider is that some speakers sound much better off-axis than on.  If they are pointing straight at your head you may find it easier to listen with less toe-in.

Hey OP,

If your room is too lively it can accentutate the hash in the upper octaves, so consider that first.

Otherwise, it's hard to tell without knowing exactly which voices.  Can you give an example of recordings you are having trouble with?
