Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ?

Help? Certain music makes my ears hurt from my bright sounding Klipsh Forte ii's (Sonny Rollins Saxophone Colossus), Or is it my room full of glass and tile? Or am I listening too loud (80 db), or my 1970's Pioneer receiver? I just ordered some dynamat to put on the rear of the horns. Some music is good though. I have often though about getting another pair of speakers so I can switch back and forth or run all four depending on the music. Any advise?

Putting the dynamat on the horns will help a great deal.

In over 40 years I have found every Klipsch speaker painful in every environment with every piece of equipment.

henry53 so sorry you've been in pain for so long.  Good thing there's more than one speaker manufacturer in this industry, with more than one piece of associated equipment and multiple listening environments.  What is the point of your post?

Cover the tile with rugs. Cover the windows & doors with curtains, Go to Amazon and get a cheap tube amp that has enough power for your speakers. It should be ok.
