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

russ69, would a mid-priced tube amp work, +/- $500 ? I could keep the Pioneer for looks.

nice system Ozzy62, do you run all four speakers at the same time?

Wow thanks everyone!! Out of 20 comments it looks like the large amount of glass needs curtains, that is inexpensive & easy, I'll do that & the dynamat first, if It's still too bright a tube amp / new pair of speakers will be in the distant future as I have other expensive hobbies like having a mortgage in California, thanks again everyone!

OP here, Sorry for no reply , been beyond super busy at work, sorry and thanks again to all of you. I ordered some dynaliner for the speakers, and will put that on soon, I toed them in to pass in front of me, out of direct path of my ears, pulled them out a few more inches and surprisingly got more bass, I also knocked the EQ 1k down, that also helped. These fixes were all recommended by this thread. I appreciate it. So, things are at least 50% better if not more, I'm happy enough not deal with the glass or new equipment for now, you guys really helped. thanks again !!!!!! 

Thanks kb7555, I'm using a older pioneer sg9500 EQ, it helps a lot, is that good enough ?

OP here, 1. cranked down 1 & 2 on the EQ as suggested (that helps) and have one speaker lined with the dynaliner, will do the other speaker next weekend. Can't say I hear a lot of diff. from the newly lined speaker.        2. Has anyone heard of china-hifi-audio? They have a Reisong A10 EL34 for $215, I saw somebody on you tube that bought one and said it showed up and was fine? 3. Looking into bass trap / acoustic panels.

Sorry corelli720 so many posts. Ok I bought these in 1990 and demoed them at either the local good guys or best buy. I liked them a lot. I was 34 and still listening to a lot of rock and of course wanted a speaker that was, well, LOUD and they sure fit the bill. Now I don’t turn it up so loud as much. I still love the Klipsch for a lot of music, especially music with horns like Sonny Rollins or ’Modern Love’ by David Bowie. I listened to the Rolling Stones today and they did well for ’Brown Sugar’ (sax) and also did well on ’Wild Horses’. I don’t hate nor dislike the speakers. My original post indicates that I am uncomfortable with "certain music". I really don’t want to cover the room with curtains as it is the kitchen, dining & living room all in one big room with +/- 350 sq.ft. of glass. It was a nice day in central California today so I had all the sliders open to enjoy the air / view. I don’t want to close all the doors and be sitting in a movie theater atmosphere, yes maybe at night that would be great. Some advise has helped, toe in, EQ settings. I got really great bass I never knew they had by pulling them out from the wall. I will dynamat the other speaker next weekend and post how it turns out. Dynamat on the one not a lot of difference. Any advice is appreciated. I have learned a lot from the thread. Thanks again, Peter

Update: All speakers and cabinets now dynamatted and sound a little better. The toe in helped, pulling them out to +/- 12" from the wall helped. Planning to stuff the bottom cavity with foam. Will hang blankets soon and update. Someone mentioned replacing the tweeters with another type but I can't find the post. Anyone remember?

Update,. Hope you guys are still out there, I know it's an old thread now but ...Dynamatted all the horns / woofers. Ok, big job but covered all the glass in the room w/ sheets / blankets, 3 large sliders & windows, covered the large glass dining table, tile 1/2 wall, pictures w/ glass, stainless steel fridge, ovens, some cabs (kit open to L/R), 60" tv & glass fireplace front. And ............. all of you are correct, sounds much better, the shrieking highs are gone. Litmus test was Pink Floyd DSOTM time, and Gershwin, rhapsody in blue. Tried with everything coverd, sound great. Then with just the sliders / windows covered, last with nothing covered. Conclusion: drapes will eliminate 75%+ of the tinny sound. So now will investigate drapes, I saw some on amazon for a very wallet friendly solution. I always likes the dynamics of the Klipsch speakers they just need to be toned down. Nothing quite like them when playing Pink Floyd, Classical, or anything with a sax which I love like Sonny Rollins, not to mention rock. They are not perfect, they lack the lush, richness of some other speakers. But keeping for now. Thanks again everyone! p.s. thanks holmz, they do sound better w/o foam under them.
