Who works on or upgrades/mods Merlin Audio speakers?
I assume that you have the TSM-MMI speakers based on your bookshelf comment.  The TSM have a modified morel soft dome tweeter which is very smooth, detailed BUT not bright.  I doubt this is the source of your glare or sibilance issue.  Merlins typ...
