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...?

Following the thread I understand you have no carpet no furnishings nothing to dampen the brightness of the speakers. The room is as important as the system.

If you put furnishings in the room it's going to affect the sound just as putting carpet on the floor or putting up damping material on the wall. Not very many systems are going to sound good in a bare room. Speakers also need to be broken in as stated by other people on the forum.
