Often hard to separate out the bright versus harsh continuum. Harsh has an abundance of transients that are fighting each other
in their overtone sequences (say from a rough fingernail) though a really bright sound can be harsh in its own way. High frequencies
are very directional and why mikes out in front of the guitar pick up so much more of that than does the guitar player.
Speaking of directionality I do listen to recordings with headphones most of the time. Perhaps a softer experience for many using speakers to listen to recordings (depending on where they are sitting).
