Thanks for the word--sibilance. I Googled and found some opinions. One opinion is that a slow cumulative spectral decay response is the problem. So, getting a tweeter with a high CSD helps eliminate the problem. He suggests a good ribbon tweeter. Also found opinions that suggest that there are...

What causes harsh S-sounds in music? Sometimes when I turn up the volume I hear the S-sounds seem unnatural. I don't know how to describe it. It's an irritating bright "ssssss" trailing words that end in "S." Is there a term for this? What's the cause? Compressed MP3's? Low quality speakers?

I had an audio shop upgrade the sound on my 09 MDX. He left the factory amp in to power the rear and front speakers but added an MRX F-65 to power the side speakers and subwoofer. Everything was fine but then I had him upgrade the side speakers to component Alpine SPR-175. One thing I noticed...
