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?

+ Henry53!I worked in a Klipsch dealership for years and never could stand them. I understand the current product is better but I have no direct experience. 
Consider a Black Ice F11 at $1595.  An affordable EL34 based integrated. If you are handy you can build a Dyna ST35 kit. Also try stuffing a tennis ball in the MR horn to “mellow it down easy”. Nerf might work too!  Easily reversed tweak to tame the harshness.
