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...?

Yeah, if they dont work out, will probably try Lintons next.  For now, I'm going to give it 30 days and make a decision at that point. I have 60 days to return them.

I have played with ML speakers for decades and a few things to keep in mind are: 1) They are line sources that radiate in both directions and 2) they are a capacitive load not a resistive load.  

When I looked up the OP's speakers, they are conventional box speakers with dynamic drivers (magnets, coils and cones) plus an unconventional tweeter!  A far cry from the MLs of old ...

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