Grover30,
Did you play with the treble switches before chasing amps? But I can see class D being a no go on these (I use a MC462).
I run subs with my 4367 (but I do with all my speakers) and I have the UHF at -0.5db I also listen to hard rock/metal (pop and audiophile stuff too). I think what makes them so good with old average recorded music is the great dynamics. Even 80s music with poor dynamics seem to find dynamics when played through the 4367.
The speaker is so detailed in the upper frequencies it does almost sound bright. But in direct comparison with the Revel 228be the 4367 was a touch more down in the treble which surprised me. The 590s, (my surrounds) are much brighter.
