I wish I could pin-point the frequencies and explain the effect better. I'll do my best.
I want to cover my ears when a Pavarotti sings certain higher notes or some notes when Caballet sings pretty "comfortably".
It's like bad PA horns or horrible acoustic space. I'm thinking of words like "resonances" and "frequency spikes".
My room does not have very bad acoustics. It's comfortable for conversation.
The big horn alone (and unfiltered) sound very well on piano music, but add violins and it feels very sharply cut-off.
Classical organ on the big horn alone is really painful.
Female voices talking is fatiguing, while male voices are better. I don't know if this is normal for the upper bass horn, but adding the MF horn doesn't seem to solve it completely.
Add the MF horn and simple Jazz and rock sounds superb, but classical organ and vocal music clearly shows problems at these frequencies.
