Why does my system now have shrill top end.

Why does my system now have shrill top end.
Teo_Audio: All of the kitchen lights were changed to LED bulbs so maybe that is it. Would turning the light switches off take them out of the loop or do I need to shut the breaker off. There is also the Refrig ice maker and the electric ovens but ... 
Why does my system now have shrill top end.
Anything is possible but both would have to been damaged the same way and I don't play the music that loud. And, as I don't have any equivalent quality speakers to substitute I have no idea how to test this. 
Why does my system now have shrill top end.
Not sure it would be room acoustics as there is no improvement as I walk around the room. The amp is plugged in directly to the wall and thus it is possible that ac noise is the cause but the issue is so pronounced and the P5 (only front end compo...

Why does my system now have shrill top end.

Best HDTV?

Which Sony dvd playr is a good CD playr
I have the 7700 and have listened to the 9000. Neither is a "good" CD player, although the 9000 is far and away better than the 7700. Where the 9000 shines is playing SACDs.If you goal is good CD playback but you also want DVD, I would get a cheap...
