Could be a minor amount of mid-frequency distortion in the loudspeaker generating some artificial highs. Whatever it is, I'd guess it's pretty normal as verified by your comparison to another set. You might try halving the value of the cap in the treble-cut.

Good idea. Thinking about it you may likely be right, it probably is speaker related. Especially since the set really sounds good with music. The radio performs and sounds really good, honestly, it's hard believe it is 80 years old it's still working this well!
