Speakers sound too bright.

@koffibaffor —overzealous bite in the lower treble is spot on. I’m tired of trying out different speakers. It’s a lot of work @ time. My budget is $2k. Either I keep the Logans or try the Lintons or Polk 700s. My gut is telling me that the 60xti are going to sound better to me. I’m not changing gear, I like me gear. I have some thinking to do. These white 60xti speakers are gorgeous too. Got some pondering to do. Don’t get me wrong though, these 60xti speakers sound really good, just bad recordings sound bad and good sounding recordings give me goose bumps.

I like this forum how everybody comes together in helping each find solutions.

So what’s the problem? Do you want a speaker that makes bad recordings sound good? What you will have then is a very low resolution transducer. Think Advent speakers from the 80s. Pleasant to listen to, even with bad recordings. But very mediocre speakers.

I would return it and try different speakers.  In my 35 years of experience, cables, electronics, and speakers do require some break in. However, their characters show in the first 10 to 20 hours. No matter how long you break it in, a bright speaker won't sound warm or a warm speaker won't sound bright after the break in. Using cables and other accessories to fix the problem is the problem. Try your new speakers for more hours to see what happens. Nowadays I only buy equipment that I can try for 30 or 60 days with full refund upon return. 

return them... that is their nature. Martin Logan speakers are bright and if you don't have enough room furnishing to absorb something, they'd be bright in your room... Don't overthink it with the burn in. the burn in doesn't change the Martin logan from bright to not bright. neither will changing cables, amp  or whatever. your speakers are bright and you don't like it, the end @rwalsh07 

Yeah, I’m thinking about it. Not sure what to try next with a 2k budget.
