Also what do you use to power these. Are you using a amp with these speakers or a receiver. Also there are midrange controls on the back of speakers. There isn’t much control on these but you can back them down a bit
That receiver should have enough watts. Are u using a CD player or just iTunes on iPad or computer. Just wondering if it sounds harsh with another source also
At home, Laptop, musical fidelity DAC at the store, we used a High End system tube pre and power amp from Audio Research, same results. I think its the polydome, it seems "disconnected" with the rest of the system
HARSHNESS is gone. Took out 60 to 70 percent of the stuffing in the midrange enclosure and what a big difference !!! it is a totally different sounding loudspeaker
