Why do my Opera Secondas sound soooo bright?????

I just bought a used pair of Opera Secondas (first generation). The previous owner has had it for a year and a half at most and I don't know how much he used them. When I set them up in by listening room, I was unpleasantly surprised about the tweeters. I have had NUMEROUS "bright" speakers in the last 20 or so years (b&w cdm 1nt, thiel 1.5, mission 753, linn keilidh, psb silver, totem 1's, and I'm sure i'm missing a few) but I have never heard anything like these Operas!!! I'm pretty sure these have been broken in and if that's the case, then what's up with these highly rated Secondas???? HELP!!!

1. WOW I guess smaller frequency of speaker swaps and upgrades would lower the dissapointment probability.
Had any of those listed satisfied you? Which one is the longest? I think Totem1 would be the best on your list IMHO.

2. You didn't mention your amp that may be the culprit.
