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?

Even when new I never cared for Pioneer in the 70's. At 50 yrs old its wore out with dried up capacitors, etc.

room full of glass and tile
 Guaranteed to brighten any sound

 would a mid-priced tube amp work, +/- $500
We no longer live in the 1970's. $500 was a good budget in the 70's but not at all today. However for $1500 you can get a VTA Bob Latino ST-70 which will put you way ahead in sound. But you will need a preamp also. They also have them. And you need to tone down the glass & tile. Curtains and rugs are needed.
