I have a pair of M-Audio Audiophile SP-5B Studio Monitors that I do my initial mix on (yeah, I know, the better the monitors the better the mix...but I don't have a lot of cash to throw around right now). The mix sounds really great on these puppies; however, when I burn to a CD and test the mix out on other speakers, most seem to sound pretty darn good, but there is one set of speakers in particular that really cause the highs to become piercing, and especially at higher volume levels. I'm sure these speakers contour the sound to have a more pronounced high and low end so this isn't going to happen on most systems (at least I hope not).
The piercing occurs mainly on the higher frequency notes of the guitar solo, and then also on long vowel sounds, especially 'eeee' in the vocals.
Is there any way to keep the brightness but eliminate some of that piercing sound? If I remove some of those high frequencies I get a very dull sounding mix on the other speakers, something I'm not going to do.
