I popped in a hi-fi sampler I shall not name and can't help being annoyed with the sound. The sound is not natural and heavily edited. The sound is too clean to be real. It is attention grabbing by bending the sound to highlight in your face presence. A nerve catching sound with the thin-out midrange and lightweight-ness literally killed my listening appetite. I felt "at home" popping in Mercury's Living presence, not shouting for your attention.
Do you play a full album or selected pieces? Your answer will reveal if you are into music or sonic firework. Hi-fi demo cds play only crescendo, the climax. Carmina Burana, for instance. You are missing the buildup, the art of conducting, the composition that leads to the closing drama. Listening requires a learning process. Chill, let the music plays. The more you listen the more you appreciate music. A silky high will mean anything but a beaming high that lasts a few milliseconds more to beyond human listening capability. Some argue that we can feel beyond 20kHz, can we? Yes, we can. Will I pay extra for that? No. I have a tweak that could compensate it.
A tweeter that blends smoothly with the bass driver is more worthwhile. The measurement in this regard serves as a guide, voicing via listening is still golden standard. In this context, it is your voicing when I listen your system given your audio perimeter.
