I don't think so. I hear too much of high frequencies on live recordings with acoustic instruments and those instruments sound unrealistically bright. So my only guess is bad soldering because my soldering iron was not very capable to heat thick wire properly.
But if you are positive that can't be the case then I'll just continue to break them in.
What may be happening is the woofers and woofer circuits haven't broken in yet. This will bake the sound bass shy which has the effect of making the highs sound bright. I've experienced this with every GR speaker I've built. By about 50 hours, the woofers have broken in enough that more of the bass is coming through which starts to balance out the highs and they don't sound near as bright. The crossover networks will continue to settle in and the sound improve through 100 - 400 hours depending on the type of components used. The biggest changes will occur during the first 100 hours. After that, the rate of improvement will slow down. After 200 hours, improvement will be subtle.
I wouldn't recommend troubleshooting the connections until after at least the first 100 hours. To speed this up, I let speakers play 24 hours a day for two days at a time, varying the volume (very quiet at nite) with 12 hour breaks every 48 hours of play. There's nothing magical about this schedule, just what works for me.
