Room treatment for sure, power conditioners and cables will not tame that speaker, if they do they are affecting or colouring the signal which they all claim not to do. Your speakers are a bright speaker, I’m very familiar with them. You can spend 000’s on cables, power and upstream components but the fact of the matter is in your room with those speakers interacting with the room and everything located within it, they are intrinsically a very open, “brighter speaker”. Also try repositioning them, less toe etc. That may work. But, and I say but, your best first option as mentioned above is room treatment, it is an inexpensive trial that I learned about years ago and what a difference it makes. More difference than any cable and especially and power conditioner!!
What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker?
I know the answer is get a speaker that isn't bright, but I've got a pair of TAD Evolution Ones that I like quite a bit except that the magnesium midrange and beryllium tweeter are just a little bright for me. I'm driving them with a D'Agostino Classic Stereo, which I needed to drive my old speakers but I don't need all that muscle for the TADs (89db sensitivity, 4 ohm impedance {doesn't drop below 4 ohms}) recommended power 50 to 250 watts.
I'd like to get an amp that does voices especially well. I know somebody posted recently that a subwoofer solved his brightness problem and I may look into that at some point. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
