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...?
OP, I am not sure I understand what you are saying about L speaker being + and R speaker being -? Are you saying that although they are hooked up correctly they are out of phase? How did you measure or test for that? |
@rwalsh07 , I am about as low tech as it gets when it comes to apps and such, but it sounds as if your app is telling you that the speakers are out of phase with each other. But I could be wrong about that, as I am not by any means an audio or electronic guru. I actually use a Sheffield Labs test CD with an in phase/out of phase track. It’s either Rodger Scoff or Doug Sax (I think it’s Rodger on that track) saying something to the effect of, "In phase--my voice should be located between your two speakers and tightly focused," and then, "out of phase--my voice should have no apparent focus and should sound as if it is coming from all around the room." And on my system it does. But that’s about as high tech as I ever get with that. |
