I would say to follow Neil's advice and give your new speakers a couple weeks' worth of regular use (if you haven't already) before starting to worry. Speakers exhibit both electrical and mechanical break-in periods, to my mind. From what I know of most of your pieces besides the integrated amp (with which I am familiar by reputation only, and I can see in your "System" that you have a good PC for it), I don't think the rest of your gear is likely to sound intrinsically bright. So my only other guess would be - if the problem doesn't resolve itself with break-in, and if the new speakers are not supposed to have a bright sound (I've never heard or read about them) - that maybe their dispersion pattern will require something different in the way of positioning or room treatments.
Please help - system "brightness" problem
I recently purchased a new pair of speakers and stands - Tyler Acoustics Reference Monitors to replace my B&W Matrix 803s in a small listening room. I was looking for a tighter, faster speaker, particularly in the low frequencies.
The system includes Linn Ikemi CD and Plinius 8150, HT Truthlink ICs and Pro 9 cables. I never had a problem with brightness, but the new speakers have made the system very "bright".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
