I don't have sibilance problems, are my speakers dull?


Another poster asked for help dealing with sibilant performances.

It got me to thinking, the one thing I have not had a problem with in like forever is sibilance. Maybe this is because I don’t seek to make my system "revealing" which to me often just means bright.

I’m now kind of curious, exactly what kind of gear and recordings bring this problem out?

Best,

If you don’t hear it in vocals on the "Trinity Sessions" by the Cowboy Junkies then you have a dead spot in your setup’s response (just to name something you my have on hand).

It’s there on early original releases (both CD/vinyl).

I’ve found vocal sibilance prevalent throughout my musical library (which spans 60-80 years of recordings) regardless of what my system is/was.

I consider it to be a natural occurrence, and don’t have a problem with it.

It all starts with microphone selection and maybe goes downhill from there…
Will have to play Trinity Revisited this eve… 45 rpm, the famous church and nearly so Ambisonic microphone array….
