Pretty much bare wall, no room treatment, flooring is a mixture of carpet and laminate flooring. I had my KEF R3 Metas set up identically but weren't nearly as harsh. I changed speakers because the KEFs sounded a too analytical/metallic for me. I thought the MLs would richen it up a bit, floor is a mixture of carpet and laminate flooring. The listening area has carpet, approximately 15ft x 15ft. The speakers are on the carpet.
Speakers sound too bright.
I just bought a new pair of Martin Logan 60xti speakers. They are too bright and fatiguing. I would like to avoid returning them. I've tried toeing them in and out. I cant get them further than 1ft away from the wall (back of speaker to wall). I have a about 1-2 hrs of play time on them. Not sure if break in will help settle the upper frequencies down. Any suggestions...?

The reviews I’ve read of your speakers do not indicate an inherent brightness at all, and your associated equipment also should be fine so I’m thinking additional break in should yield significant improvements. What interconnects are you using? BTW, if you’d like to significantly upgrade your speaker cables here’s a pair of Acoustic Zen shotgun bi-wire cables (I’ve used these for many years) for only $350, which is a ridiculous price for these cables. You should jump on them, and if you don’t like them for some reason you can probably sell them for a profit. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650194860-acoustic-zen-satori-shotgun-biwired-speaker-cables/ |
