They might not be rolled off but I think it makes it more "artificial" sounding and more prone to siblance. I also think the tiny exit holes on silicones restrict the dynamics a bit. GR8 and TFP10 are the only IEM's I thought sounded better with silicone tips and I would say that is absolutely due to the larger opening at the end of the tip on those two (being wider bored nozzles).
I find tips and effect on sound a fascinating area. Trust me, I don't enjoy wearing foams for the hygienic reasons but I just find they sound most natural.
