Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system?

I recently purchased Rotel Integrated amp and B&W 703's to pair with my broken-in Rotel 1072 DC player. I've only had the system for 2 weeks, but I can't notice any improvent, The broken-in system sounded very good in the store but at home it sounds cold, dry, sterile, with harsh highs. I find the more I listen, the less I want to listen, which only slows doen the breaking-in process. Are there any audiogoners who've had experience with taming overly trebly B&W's?

I had a RB 1050 with the RC 1070 and a NAD C525Bee driving a pair of B&W 705 and they did sound bright to me, however with wall treatment and feet tweaks the sound improved greatly. Trust me you will get rid off that harshness and gain more detail and imaging with the right room tweaks. In my experience although cd players sound different the room treatment is key. Try it yourself before spending another 2k on a new cd player. At the end if you are not satisfied get a entry level tube integrated and you will get sweeter highs and a more analog sound.

BTW I need a remote for my RCD 1072 someone has one for sale ?
