well, it doesn’t sound harsh with everything, it depends on what you are listening too. The Deulunds ICs in both spots along with the rest of my gear, it’s not there at all. So the rest of my system is okay. Besides, I have Proac D48s and McIntosh DAC, Preamp, Amp. Not hard sounding or bright gear. So I voiced my system to enjoy rock and pop.
Bumperdoo, you may be on to something, I will check to make sure everything is connected tight. I do remember being in a hurry and anxious to get them connected and my not have done right.
I will get some time in tonight and report back, again I will have 200 hours or more on them by tonight. Maybe things have smoothed out a little since.
