New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix?

New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix?

New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Op my original point is it doesnt matter what you or I or anyone thinks is legitimate or not.     Each will make their own determination.  Good or bad.   You can take issue with that if you want but I'm not going to argue about it.  Cheers!

Credibility is in the eye of the beholder. Convincing others to buy something is sales. Does someone who buys and uses a Bose wave radio and says its the best sounding thing ever automatically credible? Its just an opinion. Your argument does not ... 
Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30?
