What you could be hearing is a common resonance artefact of the loudspeaker crossover.
Typically both the midrange and the tweeter are working hard at the opposing extremes of their working range around 1-4khz, and our hearing is most sensitive in that range too.   You could put a shallow dip in EQ to compensate.

Thing is... I'm using Bose full range satellites with a sub... most of the time.  And I hear it with headphones though it's not as distracting.  Like I say, very easy to tweak to my taste by pulling down impedance in Note Edit mode, creating a dip in that region.  I'm afraid EQ would effect the attack and other aspects that I like just fine.  Who knows - it might be my fillings vibrating.
I should encourage folks to play around in the note edit mode if they ever find a certain keyboard range not quite to their liking.  Even though it's very subjective and our entire audio chain including our ears contribute, the bottom line is to get the sound that inspires.

Ah, Bose satellites, enough said.

They do not give a remotely accurate picture of the sound by decent hi-fi or monitor standards. Basically you cannot judge fine details of Pianoteq's frequencies balance with those, even in the very best room. At least not to be sure of your criticisms.
I'm not saying you cannot judge a great plugin from a bad one, but Pianoteq is way past that stage.
Hopefully the headphones are more appropriate.

Ehhhh.... I'm certainly not worried about it.  Pianoteq let's you customize so much that it's easy to correct particulars to please an individual.
Right now I'm totally enjoying a morph I just created between the Bluethner and Erard.  No aliasing and a bit more "real" in the mids.  And I love this threesome:  52% Bluethner Cinematic - 18% Clavinet D6 Growl (modified) - 48% Erard Close.  Neat stuff.  I'm happy.
