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...?

I really liked my Lintons. I'd like to hear the new Super Lintons.

You said your KEF were too analytical/metallic. The KEF concentric driver is not metallic sounding, just the opposite. It's extended but not harsh at all. So, will will never like the ML ribbons. Send them back and get something more mellow.
