This is a generalized question. It depends greatly on your ears, your room. It depends greatly on what you are feeding into those bright harsh sounding speakers. If you are using aluminum or titanium drivers, horn compression drivers they can seem harsh or bright on the wrong electronics. I found using a tube amplifier smooths out the harshness and instead of being harsh and bright it is detailed and smooth and can listen for hours with no fatigue.. Certain solid state amplifiers will make bright speakers sound harsh it is all how you set your system up.
