RE: Harsh vocals in Magnepan 3.7i

If you had your 1.7's I bet you would start hearing the same thing in the same recordings more once you started paying attention to it.

I think I use higher resistors in my 3.6's than I did in my previous 1.6's---the high frequencies are more extended and open (with good recordings) in the 3 series of course, side by side there was a huge difference.

Additionally the high frequency ribbon has wider dispersion than the QR midrange (which was also the tweeter in 1.x series) so if your room is fairly reflective that will add more to the perception of brightness (you hear both direct and reflected timbre). You may also want to add more diffusion and maybe some absorption behind.

And as I've said before, also increase bass/lower midrange level if you can as your brain hears global balance well.
