Speakers sound too bright.


I just bought a new pair of Martin Logan 60xti speakers.  They are too bright and fatiguing.  I would like to avoid returning them.  I've tried toeing them in and out.  I cant get them further than 1ft away from the wall (back of speaker to wall).  I have a about 1-2 hrs of play time on them.  Not sure if break in will help settle the upper frequencies down. Any suggestions...?

Hi folks, I'm a little confused here. 

OP states his speakers are Martin Logan 60xti. According to Google, these were inexpensive home theater speakers, now discontinued. They were not panels, but standard 3-way boxes with cone drivers, made in China it would appear. Is that correct?

The bright side of a limited budget and not considering the used market is that one won't feel overwhelmed by the number of great-sounding speakers that turn up.
