RE: Harsh vocals in Magnepan 3.7i

Whoa whoa whoa!!! You thought you were just going to get to enjoy your music now??? :). What I would do is take some of those songs you liked that we all know are pretty good recordings like you just listened and start fiddling with speaker placement. Not for the purpose of keeping the speaker there - but to listen for the impact. Move them out... toe them in or out. Are tweeters in or out? See if anything changes for you in the positive direction. Get some tape - mark off where they are currently at so you can put them back. Now if you pull them out ... or whatever and things improve at least you know it is some type of room interaction based on placement. All is not lost as you could consider room treatments at that point.

My assumption is that you are not cranking the volume. Cranking volume in a small room can definitely create overload and give you a harsher sound me thinks.

Re: any harshness in the mids - in my fiddling - i have found more toe in has a tendency to reduce that as does moving the speakers a little closer together. But the whole point here is to move them around - drastically to hear the impact and go from there. Your definition of harsh could be my definition of diffuse.

And Christine Mcvie should sound pretty great when you put on Fleetwood Mac.
