Speakers sound too bright.

Speakers sound too bright.
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 log... 
Experience with Downfiring Subwoofer
Bass is basically omnidirectional so doesn't matter if down firing, or standard front firing. the bass will radiate in all directions. yes, the carpet may damp some frequencies but that depends on if said carpet material is even thick enough to do...

@hbarrel you seem to miss the perspective of the angling here. Unless you want to use the speakers nearfield. 7° above the median tweeter axis vertically is actually not that high above if you listen in the midfield or farfield is all

I've heard great speakers across almost all driver implementations except single drivers so that surely should be what to avoid @cdc

How about yg acoustics dual coherent the crossover coherent in both time and frequency domains? yg-acoustics DualCoherent   You got me thinking about single driver vs. time aligned multi driver. What do you think about Fujitsu Ten Eclipse TD7...

The longer I listen the more I move away from "ruthlessly revealing" ( fatiguing) sound. When a speaker makes the focus of a song the recording defects and quality of musicianship IME it looses it’s musicality. When I start liking the song, not f...

My thought is if the speaker is designed to play a 116dB will it cause a shortcoming somewhere else? Why pay for performance that has no use? No. Not needing to play that loud sustained means there is ample headroom for when you play music that...

So you have heard them and this is a design flaw? less of a design flaw and a compromise made by the designers... all speakers have some form of compromise and the one to get is one with the least number of compromises and the Genelec fits the ...

Sounds like you have a background in studio monitors. What do you think about nearfield vs. farfield listening for rock and techno. Would it sound more "right" because it is mastered nearfield? Most people here listen to jazz, quartet, classical,...

Erin will get one and he has a review of the Sointuva AWG. So I'd say wait on that  
Anyone have experience with the new ATC active bookshelf speakers?
@m669326  From all the ATC I’ve heard. I think they’d be midrangey. I will get to hear them at High End Munich later this year. But outside of dynamics and sounding generally balanced with a quirk in the upper mids and lower treble, ATC pretty dec...

@cdc  Well the issue with the micromain isn’t the frequency response which is ideally should be a variation of neutral which it is on axis. And also because you’d be nearfield, flat on axis is what you want but you also want a pretty controlled an...
