Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?)
Hmm well I did not catch the location within the room but firing down the long dimension to reduce reflected sound amplitude from walls and provide more flexibility with seating location and distance from rear wall sounds like a good thing to try ... 
Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine
Keep Sophie Millman out of it. She has a wonderful sultry voice and delivery and the recordings are quite good.

..except MC is not being forthcoming because on his thread about his new speakers he indicates he will be making various thus far undisclosed modifications so it does not appear to be etched and done at all. Which is it? Knowing MC it will be both...

..etched and supposedly to be modified for reasons unknown.......MC you should think before you brag sometimes. Maybe get off the wacky weed.

Ha well being driving distance from a place like The Music Room certainly opens up many possibilities!

Shorter good quality towers is probably a decent option like monitors, as long as tweets are lower. I would often suggest someone having brightness issues and willing to try something completely different consider Ohm Walsh speakers, which tend to...

When it comes to difficult rooms, less/smaller speaker is often the ticket to better results (with fewer room treatments).Once you have a handle on the frequencies where most of the music occurs, ie the midrange, then you might consider adding pow...

Maybe others here have knowledge of the amp that might help to clarify what can be expected. In general it’s worthwhile to pay attention to impedance matching amp, pre-amp and speakers. Distortion results otherwise which can produce the symptoms o... 
Peter Green
He was a very interesting person. Very talented but many demons it seems. I’ve seen the documentary and recall he had a tough go of it but that seems like a totally rational conclusion to draw about some getting rich and others not based purely on...

Funny thing about burn in .Is it your speakers need time to break in or you mind needs time to get used to the sound you are hearing ? Both can easily come into play.  It usually takes some time to be sure about things.

Regarding more detail on the upper end, have you ever had that with your setup in the past? What was that setup if so? Not familiar with your amplification but perhaps something could be done there? If you like tubes, take a look at the Linear Tub...

With the monitors try putting them on low stands given the low ceiling, maybe with slight tilt back. Also play with toe-in. Brightness can be tamed often by not having direct tweet exposure to ears. Also often helps with soundstage and imaging. Th...
