how are you finding the tweeter? Does it need a little taming?

I REALLY like Kimber and Siltech.

What's your budget?

Exactly. Tweeters need taming and than sum....Especially with voices in the high range, needs smoothing and rounding. Bass is pretty good.

I don't like to spend much on cables but some decent around 200-300$ I could live with. I'm thinking of doing what Chuck Hinton suggested, 1 pair from 2ohm tap to the tweeters and 1 pair from 4ohm tap to the bass for each speakers.

That supposedly decreases the high/mids by 2db which also allows the bass to shine more.

What do you think?

Siltech. The silver/gold metallurgy can help to tame them. But that's above your budget.

In one of Stanley's posts he was talking about two separate pairs and then $200-300. If that is total for both pairs and talking about any sort of distance that becomes extremely limiting. "Warmer" cables I have used in the past were some of the Analysis Plus cables and the lower line WW cables like Luna 7. Farther up both companies lines they move more to the neutral point.
 
Guys

My many apologies. I don't think the problem is with the speaker cables, it's either the Oppo 105D dac or the interconnect XLR cable from the Oppo to the C2500.

I listened to the exact same album ( photo below) stored on the olive 1 streamer, passed onto the C2500 via USB or coax and there's no harshness at all whatsoever even at very high volumes.

But the same album listened via CD mode using the 105D, the harshness is very present.

What do you guys think?
