Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard

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.

It may not be placement but the acoustics of the room, itself. Also, have you tried using the Audyssey EQ?

Kal, interesting suggestion. I did turn down the treble manually - do you know whether the Audyssey EQ separates out frequencies more finely than the manual controls, which are simple treble and bass?

Kal, Thanks, I did just try the Audyssey and it did at least partially tame the problem - but still not quite enough :(

Now, consider your room acoustics. Fix them and run Audyssey again.
