I had this same issue with a new pair of DIY single driver speakers. Break-in did help some but not enough. Repositioning speakers did nothing. Switching to warmer tubes did very little but some. Switching from 4 ohm to 8 ohm speaker connections along with using Duelund DCA10Ga cables was my solution and happy ending. Not sure any of this applies but just sharing what I went through.
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...?

Since you asked for suggestions..... My suggestion would be to restate your question and include as much information as possible such as: Room, amplification, source, cabling & power conditioning. If the forum members know what you're dealing with you should get some helpful and thoughtful responses. Hope the new speakers will ultimately work out. Give them time to run in. |
@rick_n +1. Hard to assess anything without that info along with what speakers you were using before. Also, 1-2 hours isn’t nearly sufficient — you should give them a minimum of 100 hours to begin to seriously judge them, and they could well improve further to 200 hours and beyond. |
