Another great analogy with the visual one! That does make a lot of sense and I 100% agree with the assessment. Yeah the trailing tones getting overpowered seems to be my experience with peaky FRs as well.

I do also enjoy an airy treble subjectively and it is so incredibly hard to find a treble that sounds just right to me. Using the Dioko for example, very airy extended treble and it is detailed, but at certain points I do hear some obscuring of other treble details.

Thanks lots for the info!
