That's what I thought, but over the years I have listened to WFMT on a large number of systems in various high-end stores in this area and the effect was not always present. Of course it could be anywhere between my antenna, tuner, amp, and the speaker, but it has persisted through one change of tuner and amp. Anyway, not a big deal since I don't sit down to a long session of listening to announcers, and the speakers have performed very well on music. RPS
