How to tame brightness


System is:

Audio refinement Complete Int
EPOS - M12
Music Hall Cd25
All Signal cables

Issue:
I love the overall sound of this system, but the Epos tend to get sharp/edgy/hazy/shrill. How can I tame this issue, or does it require and upgrade?

Room acoustics seem to be the culprit here. I started playing around with the "reflection points" and found the one behind my head seems the worst. Thanks so much for your insightful comments and pointing to this issue so quickly. Most novices like me never consider this subject. It's always a problem with the equipment!

I don't believe the issue is with my digital front end, as I get the same issues with vinyl.
I have made some makeshift room acoustic adjustments which helped some. I also changed my speakers cables which also helped some. But there does seem to be a synergy issue between my amp and speakers as "sideways" mentioned.

I do use isolation on all my front end components. And thanks to everyone here for you input!
