Sibilance is caused by too much high end. As is brightness. Good vocalists know to pull back from the mic when doing both esses and plosives. Try some known good recordings, Patricia Barber is a common audiophile example. You have to match the recording, to the source, through the amp and speakers to get what you want. Moving to higher quality reproduction sometimes just shows off the bad recording. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
