Speakers sound too bright.

@mvanwoert

I have played with ML speakers for decades and a few things to keep in mind are: 1) They are line sources that radiate in both directions and 2) they are a capacitive load not a resistive load.  

When I looked up the OP's speakers, they are conventional box speakers with dynamic drivers (magnets, coils and cones) plus an unconventional tweeter!  A far cry from the MLs of old ...

Try Kimber Kable 8tc.Will add warmth to your sound.

I really liked my Lintons. I'd like to hear the new Super Lintons.

What did you have before the Lintons?

Im gonna take a guess and say the problem in this room is they are a dipole sending tons of energy (50% of its total output) on the wall behind the speakers. This energy is reflected back into the listening space with a delay that is created by the distance from the speaker to the wall behind them and then back again. This delayed HF is being added back to the non delayed main output from the front of the speaker all of it summed together at your ear. This is the same issue when we talk about first reflections: the same sound taking two different length paths to your ear is a sure way to mess up any speaker. Usually the top end is the most offensive as we are very senstive to this information. I bet if we measured phase in the room it would be severely messed up by this major reflection.

Dipoles are wonderful but very challenging -you need large spaces to make them sing. Id say this room is not right for a dipole. Nearly impossible to fix in too small a space sorry to say!
