Sibilance you won't find it with every recording.
Play some of the recordings I recommended,also if you remove the driver and look at the caps in your X over,you'll see that they are oblong not round and this means a higher ESR possibly masking/hiding some of the spike.

A capacitor costing under a buck vs. $25.00+ will certainly be more revealing.

I will link the spikes.

I would like to see what you did with the Dynamat.
got pictures up anywhere?
I like my Lores best with my Cary 280 V12, 50 watts of push-pull triode. No glare or sssssibilance at all. For me everything is just right. My Cary 300SEI is also great and the Primaluna Dialogue1 just a tad and a half behind the former two. Even with my Jolida FX10 EL84s there was no sibilance or glare. My office room is 14x16, main room about 16x26. Once broken in these Lores are one of the best bargains in audio. Mega kudos to Eric Alexander.
One of the things Eric recommended seriously helped the problem.The speakers where tipped back 10mm raised at the front spikes,leveling them removed a load of glare and reduced some of the sibilance !
He also gave me some other ideas, more later.
Eric's customer service is really impeccable,not to mention e is just so dammed likable.
I have been into audio for years and it's been a very long time since I have met someone with his passion for all tings musical.
Wondering if anyone is using Morrow interconnects with their Lore's. I find particularly good synergy between the two in my system compared to the two other interconnects that are my usual references. The Morrow's are fast and compliment the Lore's potential speed. They restore some "audiophile detail" to the Lore's. A pleasant surprise being that I almost put them up for sale 2 months ago because they were 3rd best with my Vandy speakers.
I've had good luck with Silnote Reference IIs, Alpha Core Silver Saphine and home-brew Cardas as recommended by Jeff Day. For speaker, been using PS Audio Statement, Kimber 8TC (older blue black variety) or Alpha Core Silver AG-1 Centerstage, and a home brew again via Jeff Day called White Lighting (sounds close to top line Cardas).
