Focal Mini Utopias

Bought these on Audigon. I find them a tad bit bright. The sound stage is amazing so how do I tone down the brightness. Change speaker cables? Install a tube stage? Get a moderately price parametric equalizer? Get a Tact 2.0S? Adjust the toe-in of the speakers? Yadda, yadda, yadda. My room is not perfect but the soundstage is great -just a little bright, especially with loud rock music.

Rich, I'd start at the source. And I don't mean components (although you don't list your associate gear, amp, player etc..) Start with recordings. I assume you listen to CD's? Some of them are highly compressed.

I'd disagree with any drastic changes suggested (changing of an amp etc). You apparently have revealing system and/or room. Masking it, it would be just as good as covering your speakers with blanket. Start with the room treatment. You can find a lot of good info on the web, for nice and effective DIY panels to tame the reflections.
