Getting rid of harsh, shrill treble


I cannot play my classical cd's at a volume where the midrange and bass come through without harsh, shrill treble, especially the violins. I have bookshelf speakers on stands and subwoofer in a small 120 sq. ft. room. I have no treble control on my pre-amp. I tried a Taddeo passive Digital Antidote II between my CD player and pre-amp with minimal result. I have a solid state integrated amp, will switching to a tube integrated amp cure this problem or is it my speakers?

I had harsh treble from my Polks, what I did to the speakers was put stick on felt pads around the tweeter or use those circles you put under furniture. Stick them around the tweeter to absorb unwanted brightness. This might tame some high frequency sibilence.
