In Reply to: Will a tube amp tame a harsh metal tweeter?? posted by Mr Blue Sky on May 24, 2003 at 17:16:43:
Hi,I'm surprised that the issue of cables has not been discussed more thoroughly here. You haven't even mentioned what cables you are using with your speakers. The wrong choice of cable can really screw up the overall sound.
I suggest you experiment with some alternative speaker cables and interconnects -- LAT International ones are particularly good; they are extremely smooth and refined across the entire audio spectrum.
Secondly, you have not told us which source you are using. If you use an inadequate CD player, "garbage in, garbage out" applies. A lot of cheap players are unrefined in the treble and upper midrange. Upgrading to better speakers will only make the problem worse.
Issues of setup are important too. The support you have your equipment on can make a big difference to the overall quality of sound.
Finally, as said by someone else, there is nothing inherently harsh about a metal tweeter. I have a pair of PMC FB1s, which also use a metal tweeter, and they are not in the least harsh/fatiguing/unpleasant in the upper midrange/treble in my system.
Regards,
John.
