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?

1. Every speaker I have ever owned has benefited from room treatment. If what you're describing is accurate, (room) you won't be totally happy with any speaker until you take care of the room.
2. Those old Pioneers Receivers are grainy and miserable sounding... get rid of it!
3. Klipsch speakers done right, in the right room can be transforming! You might need to spend some time and money with crossovers, a little damping, tube amps, interconnects, etc.
