B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness?

With all due respect to Mike, an EQ has no place in high end systems.  While trying to fix something it trashes many things. I know this sounds combative - I don’t mean it to be, but I know a ton about this subject. 

Get the accurate sounding speaker and/or SACD player like below system. They are Wavetouch Antero speaker and Wavetouch bdp95 SACD player. Alex/Wavetouch

B&W 802s are not bright at all, they have a very neutral, clear sound in the top end, and measure very well at all frequencies.  I would definitely suggest the room is the issue, especially as on another post you complain of a lack of bass, which the 802 definitely do not suffer from 

Dunno if bright is the proper term, they seem to have a lot of upper midrange energy and call attention to themselves

Too bright !!!!! How do l tone down?
 

If your upper midrange / tweeters are too bright, turn your speakers upside down.

It’s logical….try it, it’s not a joke. It will cost nothing.

The tweeters will not be at ear level. The bass will be at ear level solving your other problem too. Some solutions can sound illogical or whacky, but this can work with some speakers.

Has anyone else tried this? It has a similar effect like the differences listening with speaker grills off or on.

You have nothing to loose thinking outside the boxes……so to speak.
