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...?

Why is everyone skipping over this is a dipole 1 foot away from the wall behind them? I dont care how long you burn them in, what treatment you use, the cables, the preamp- NOTHING will fix that "dipole close to the wall behind them" problem.

@lonemountain  The ML speakers the OP has are not dipole, they’re box speakers. 

If you don't like the way it sounds good out and buy a mini dsp hook it up to your computer and make it sound like you want.time delay graphic eq , crossover ,mapping ,room eq,ect.ohh wait klipsch just put it on the la scala.bryston has it on middle t ect it's the new milenium.if your a purist do it find out your crossover frequency  from the dsp computer then get someone to build your coil and caps put it together. Danny gr research or others parts express could help you. Enjoy the research and the search .expand your horizion.read a book on it.watch  y tube ect.happy listening. If you do it all at low wattage you should not fry anything.i like my sublime accoustics have little modules plug in for frequencies.fun to play with.marchant has electronic crossover even some digital 2 way I play with.it goes between your amp and pre amp.grant it you might have to bi or tri amp it but these class d amps are so economical 100$for fossi audio you can change op amps in 240 watts.what a blast.great audiophile era we live in enjoy it.
