Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ?


Help? Certain music makes my ears hurt from my bright sounding Klipsh Forte ii's (Sonny Rollins Saxophone Colossus), Or is it my room full of glass and tile? Or am I listening too loud (80 db), or my 1970's Pioneer receiver? I just ordered some dynamat to put on the rear of the horns. Some music is good though. I have often though about getting another pair of speakers so I can switch back and forth or run all four depending on the music. Any advise?

With Horn / compression drivers, I have always preferred lower-power tube amps. Listening in close proximity to horn / compression transducers at louder levels can cause listener fatigue. With lower-power tube amps, the Forte should be much more tolerable and not sound quite so bright.
