With sibilance, these are some things to try (though you might have already); 1) Shielding. Mains leads, interconnects, speaker cable. 2) Microphony. Spikes, isolation platforms, footers etc. 3) If you have standmounting speakers, upgrade the stands. 4) Leaves of SRS between the components. 5)

I tried to simplfy the situation by listening with headphones directly to the SB3, and the sibilance can be heard right there, and subsequently throughout my system.If i play a SACD there is no sibilance. This only occured this week. Driving my crazy. What can i do to the SB3 to remove the

Ok, i'm offically going mad. I bi-amped my speakers earlier in the week, lots of bass and better top end, but with quite a handful of sibilance . After a few days i reverted back to single wiring . But the sibilance is still there not as pronounced. So after checking wiring etc, i grabbed my
