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?

Do you have any power conditioning, upgraded powercords? It has made an unblievable difference for me. If you liked this combo in the store, then the main issues to look at would be, as others pointed out, the room, break in, and the quality of the electricity the amp and player are receiving.

Get a smooth, warmish fairly high quality interconnect like Music Metre Signature, Harmonic Tech Truthlink, or Luminous Synchestra Sig.
