Sierra-LX - Can I add some sparkle with EQ?

[gmetro]

I have my room finally set up as good as it can be without going to extremes. Speakers are lovely, and I've managed to get them sounding great with just some moving things around, a little bit of wall treatment/etc.

And this may be heretical, but the only thing I feel like I'm missing is that high end sparkle. That sort of over-analytical visceral feeling that comes with speakers like Focals. -- I want to feel when someone is finger plucking strings, bells should reverberate the little hairs in the cochlea.


I've been playing with the EQ a bit to try and squeeze that out, but I just can't seem to get it right. I'm using a fully adjustable parametric EQ, and a GEQ depending on source. Any suggestions for settings?

I've mostly been trying to bring up some high frequencies, but maybe that's the wrong approach.

example: The intro to Nightwish's Sleeping Sun. I mean, it sounds good. I can hear it. But I can't feel it at any volume.
