Getting overtone in a pair of bookshelf speaker.


I just bought a pair of Music Hall Marimba bookshelf speakers, and currently experimenting with placement. I changed the previous height of the tweeter by placing two books under each cabinet. During the first listening session, they sounded OK, but now today after the changes made, they sounded crinkly in the high end with somewhat of hollow overtone in the midrange.

I do not expect them to pressurize a 12X14 room with full sound, but I am a bit disappointed at the tonal balance. I have them about 4 ft from the side walls and 15 inches from back wall which is glass, but has slat shades that can be closed. They are approx 5 ft apart and occupy the far end of the long axis. Need suggestions on how to find ideal tonal balance. Thanks

1800 hours of break in will improve them..then you can go out and buy some good speakers!
