John, try raising (tilting) the front of the speakers up: Between the interactions of your room, furniture, ear level to tweeter level, your own standards, preferences, and hearing, I'm thinking that the you've got to raise the tweeter or slouch more in your listening chair. 2"-3" to start.
But it's ok to slouch, my girlfriend reminds me often that I'm a good slouch.
Take a look at Doug Schneider's comments re: tweeter height from a review of the 3020i & 3050i from last January on the Soundstage network: https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/system-one/1247-hands-down-or-up-the-qacoustics-3020i-and-3...
Brother, I'm close to 60 & over the last 18 months have started updating my system with a vengence. If you can't get these to work for you, move on - but be careful, the 3050i's aren't a bright sounding speaker. There seems to be a movement towards 'extended' highs, often misinterpeted as 'openess' or 'speed', and a more forward image, with musicians damn near in your lap.
You may or may not enjoy these traits. I'm guessing the latter. Hope you find a solution that works for you.
