What can I say... (Singular)

You could get yourself a T or D amp, that will give you usually a rise in
output at the highest frequencies due to the gradual rising impedance of
the full-range driver and therefore sounding less dull.

Probably cheaper than a pair of Fostex T90A too.
I have fiddled with the tone controls on my amplifier to try to boost the higher frequencies, but the speakers just don't perform well above 15-16 kHz. I think I'm overly picky about this range because the noise of a television screen is quite obtrusive to me. Female vocals are good but the realism isn't there without the high frequency component of the "breathy" sounds.

In light of the above do you think a T amp will be enough? I am running my 50 watt amp at up to the -10dB volume setting, so technically I can get away with 5 watts. I've never used a Tripath amp before, If the amplifier can make such a difference I might be better off with a 5 watt tube amp kit that can be overdriven a little bit.

Midrange and Bass are now excellent with the new room layout. The lower bass just walks all over my old 8 inch BR TaNoy speakers, particularly when driven hard they get better.
