I had a pair of these. While the bass and mids were very good I found the motion tweeters to bright. Point them forward and not towed in. Also put a piece of fabric or foam on the tweeters. It worked for me until I could sell and move up. I found soft dome tweeters are more to my liking.
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...?

Sorry to hear your first reaction. But, you really need to get them broken in. I would put them pointing at each other and play them 24 hours a day for a week. As loud as possible without disturbing you. The most likely problem is breakin. Then as someone pointed out, they may be a bit sizzly. If so, tube equipment would be much warmer. Typically, speakers first, then upgrade electronics to optimize... but you want to like the speakers. Did you hear them before buying? You liked them? |
@rwalsh07 Aside from the speakers, have a look at this site for assessing the room itself. There seems to be some real issues you could address around the room size itself. If it's true the room is 50% of the sound, your 30 x 30 room is not helping? Cheers. |
