Please help - system "brightness" problem

I recently purchased a new pair of speakers and stands - Tyler Acoustics Reference Monitors to replace my B&W Matrix 803s in a small listening room. I was looking for a tighter, faster speaker, particularly in the low frequencies.

The system includes Linn Ikemi CD and Plinius 8150, HT Truthlink ICs and Pro 9 cables. I never had a problem with brightness, but the new speakers have made the system very "bright".

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have no experience with the Tylers, but many speakers require a break in period, sometimes a very long one. That may be one possiblity.
Also, apparently the B&W's may have greater bass extension than the Tylers, so it may be you're hearing more of the highs.
I was curious, so I looked at these reviews:

Hope this helps.
