It is indeed hard to differentiate from a flaw in the recording. But I noticed it precisely because it was asymmetric - one driver affected, but not the other. Swapping L/R cables revealed it as a physical tweeter issue. Also used a mono switch to help detect - it was subtle at first, and only certain passages of certain tracks would excite it (piano). It's very unlikely both of your tweeters would have this issue at the same time.
