Thanks for your suggestion, Chayro. It well might be the case that the best thing is to try them at a dealers with different amps.
The problem seems to be independent of volume. I also know different folks like different speakers and I'm open to the sad possibility I simply purchased the wrong speakers for my ears. But, as you say, the best way to eliminate that possibility is to head to a dealer. I am wondering though, whether others have experienced the same problem and have solved it with a different amp. My old speakers AR91, were much more forgiving with the treble than these Paradigms.
