Right, this really is driving me up the wall now, there's a HUGE amount of sibilance to the sound of my system, basically rendering all music with vocals in it unlistenable. I've posted on here before where it was suggested that the amp clipping was the problem, but I've come to believe otherwise...
My system currently consist of:
Mission 775e speakers
Denon AVR1803 Amplifier
Pioneer DV-565A DVD/CD player
I'm using cheap & nasty JVC interconnects and QED Original Biwire speaker cable.
I originally suspected that this would be the result of the amplifier clipping, but it's a trait that's exhibited at the lowest of volumes too, so (I think) I can eliminate that as a possiblity.
I've heard the speakers with (admittedly better) amplification and again the traits weren't exhibited.
When demoing the DVD player at my local sevenoaks, I couldn't hear any sibilance there, so it doesn't make sense for it to be the player.
As of Saturday (next), I'll be using a different source for CD playback (Denon DVD2800mkII).
Anybody got any idea of how to eliminate it?
Will upgrading the speaker wire/interconnects do the trick?
It really is preventing me from listening to anything at present.
TIA
