raspy high end

I am driving a new pair of kef xq40 with a vintage yamaha m2 amp (240 wpc) and a matched yamaha c-4 preamp. Using a jvc dvd player and playing hd recodings. The sound is full round and ALMOST PERFECT. I am biwired with flat 14 g cable. I am hearing a raspyness in the high end... almost as if blown tweeters but they are not.... it is minimal but needs to go! Ideas?

But, since you said the speakers are new, give them a chance to break-in before you start hunting for a potential problem.

My first true experience with break in occurred with a new pair of Paradigm speakers. There was a raspiness on vocals that made me want to return them. It cleared up after a month or so. I know because I remember the exact album it happened with. If they are new then give them a while.
