Sounds like something is wrong somewhere. I would first try a diiferent pair of speakers. If the problem does not go away, there is something wrong w/ the speakers. The 801s should not exhibit that anamoly. The only reason the high freq on the 801 would be hard to live w/ is because they are revealing of any weaknesses upstream, they reveal what's there.
Problem with New System - Diagnosis Sought.
Just put together a new system from here and Craigslist. Consists of my long-time owned NAD T550 DVD player/Krell KAV-250p preamp/Krell KSA-250amp/B&W 801 series3 speakers.
Problem: Noticable in choral/vocal works in high register around just one frequency coincident with the singing, there is a chirping sound. Like crickets on a summers night or a high pulsating whistle.
Sounded to me like a loose tweeter vibrating, but sound comes from both tweeter and mid-range driver and from BOTH channels. It's there at low volume as well as high.
