Wiim Amp Pro w/ KEF Q1 Meta speakers

[RLB2444]

I have had my Wiim Amp Pro w/ KEF Q1 Meta speakers for around 4 months. I love the quality of sound I am getting using TIDAL. As with most things the longer you own the more familiar you become. There is only one area of the sound that repeats the same noticeable flaw that I am hearing. Specifically with voice(s) and certainly chords of metal instruments. What I hear, and it always gets my attention, is a very slight glare or blur. I suspect it's a certain frequency that the system doesn't handle well and I suspect there is a way to fix it using the built in equalizer. I can't imagine it being cables, but not sure.

If someone would share their experiences, thoughts and knowledge about correcting it I would be grateful.

Most probably the speakers or the room.

Have you tried RoomFit? There are many different setup parameters to try, but you could simply start with the defaults.

Rest assured it’s not your “Pro” amp. I’ve had the “lesser” amp for a year and a half. (Sarcasm) Never experienced “glare or blur”. But like @hgo58 has mentioned it’s probably on the room or speakers. Please try @harkpabst suggestion using RoomFit.

You dont mention a subwoofer. I personally believe bookshelf speakers need help with the lows.
