help with speaker problem


I have a problem...i notice it only on piano music, it sounds like the tweater of both my speakers is distorting, simmilar in sound to when a speaker clips, only not nearly as loud, but audible from my listening location...it also seems to be frequency dependent..ie. only occures, or occures to a much great level within a certain frequency range judging by the piece of music i was listening to when i really noticed it around the C above middle C on a piano give or take a bit.

when i first noticed the problem in my left speaker returned the speaker and they replaced the tweeter with a new one, but the problem persists and is noticable in both speakers...

my system is

totem arros
nad c350
kimber 8pr cable
eichmann express 4 interconnect
dennon dcd 3520 cd player

any idea what it could be...I wouldn't think three tweeters could all exhibit the same problem unless its a design flaw with that model of speaker (unlikely)... i thought mabey the piano notes happened to fall right around the crossover point of the speakers and that somehow caused the distortion...
im biwiring with kimber 8pr, could low frequency sound somehow leak into the tweater...
you guys are really smart...help me out!!, i dont want to just get the tweater replaced again cause i dont think it'll fix the problem, and i dont think that totem makes such poor quality part that three tweaters would all exhibit the same problem, and i doubt id be able to get my money back from where i bought them, as they're about 8 months old
it definately the tweeters though, ive tried everything, including hooking them up to an entirely different system, so i know its nothing in my system causeing it

Is this a two or three way speaker? I'm not familiar with Totem. If I recall correctly, C above middle C is 1024 Hz which is in the midrange. Not many tweeters will go down to around 1 KHz.
Don't be quick to blame the speaker...I had the exact same problem in noticing that some piano frequencies sounded harsh. It turned out to be a precursor to a failing input board in my amplifier. That being said, the piano is probably the most difficult of instruments for a system to reproduce - especially with digital which IMO is horrible to a piano. Also, don't overlook the fact that our hearing gets worse as we age. It could be that those particular frequencies will always sound slightly harsh to you. Take the CD to another system and see if you hear the same problem.
the cd's are fine on another system
my hearing i believe is fine..im only 24 years old, and dont listen at loud volume levels...75db average

ive tried the speakers hooked up to a completely different system... and the problem persists...so its definately the speakers...
Could it be an odd room node? Maybe something in your listening room got moved and is amplifying this frequency. I sometimes experience this same phenomena on certain recordings and it seems more apparant with different gear in my system.
its emanating from the speaker itself...but it was suggested to me that mabey if the spikes on the speaker plinth arnt tightened enough or the binding posts, they could start a resonance in the tweeter and that could be the problem...does this make sense??....
