In Reply to: A way to identify if sibilance is in the recording or your system posted by Awe-d-o-file on July 29, 2016 at 09:43:59:
Some singers are more sibilant.Treble peaks in mikes and in speakers. Narrow ones may be set-off by a just slightly sibilant singer or recording.
Bright rooms / wide dispersion speakers - say with large HE 2-ways - where the tweeter comes in where it is at wide dispersion, and the woofer's d'n is narrower.
I think sibilance can be a product of sharp tweeter Fs's though such are rare now.
------------------------
Viz. My spheres only have a 70s Foster/x FW202 8" frame WR woofer with a 'rounded inwards' stippled paper cone, stiffened with bitumen on the back, a 38mm* VC and mesh fabric dust dome. NO LPass & rolls out at ~3.5Khz.*35mm dome tweeter 3rd order HP at 3.5khz, Fs (<900Hz?) trap which cascades the slope to 6th below 1 kHz, plus smoothing & level matching. The dispersion of the tweeter is slightly wider at xover but not by much.
The Fs trap was settled on by the Audiosphere guys after going 3rd order, and it did help with a slight remaining edginess.
MF polycarbonate capacitor ladders and air-coir coils. Wire-wound Rs.
NOT time coherent, but phase coherent.
