1. Speaker placement and room treatments. Look at the first-reflections and see if there is a lot of hard surface area where the treble would suffer from coherent reflections.2. Equipment support, including cables. Any place hard surfaces are in casual contact with each other can chatter and make the treble miserable.
3. RF noise. This is a big problem in most houses these days. Even if your equipment does not make a lot of RF noise (some power supplies and digital sources do), non-audio appliances such as digital video recorders, microwave ovens, and computers, can generate RF noise that affects your audio signal by adding false overtones. These create a bright, hard treble, a harsh and dry midrange, and a vague bass. The treble problems are most easily noticed.
Look around and try turning off and unplugging anything that might have a computer or switching power supply inside. If the sound gets better, install a filter on the AC supply to the offending appliance.
