Hello.
I'm from Russia; it's my first post here, so I must apologize for my bad English.
Two and half years ago I bought stereo consists of CD player Rotel RCD-1072, amp Rotel RA1062 and, finally, acoustic Paradigm 60 v.4. I really fell in love with Paradigms because of its dynamic, linearity and soft enough sound with great (in my 19 square meters listening room) bass and outstanding soundstage for its price. Rotel 1062 firstly seemed me good enough for Paradigms thanks to its details, linearity and bass control. But some times ago I started to notice some roughness in high frequencies, appearing as exceeding sibilants and sometimes schematic and metallic-sounded subtle HF details. I suppose my amp causes this disadvantage mostly than Paradigms.
So I'd like to ask the following questions.
1) Am I right thinking that in my stereo Rotel is source of HF roughness?
2) If the first question answer is "yes", what amplifiers with Rotel's bass control but naturally-sounded HF would you recommend?
3) What about Bryston B60? I understand that its quality grade is significantly higher than studio's, but, in first, it can fully expose studio's capabilities and, in second, with Bryston I get ability to farther upgrade my stereo because of Bryston's universality and sound quality (if I only will have enough money).
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

I've forgotten all my cryllic letters since I last went to Moscow. I was kind of getting used to cryllic navigating the subway system.
No, I'm not going to use audyssey, but refurbishing my flat I'll make some acoustic preparation for getting rid echoes and etc.
