Tone controls! Curtains, rugs, curtains on the ceiling.  Art panels from GIK acoustics. Headphones.  Small speakers you can keep far from the walls and into the room.

Bright: B&W, Golden Ear, Focal, Triangle, Thiel, NHT.

Neutralish: Monitor Audio is quite neutral, great if you can use them.

Darker sounding: AR, Boston Acoustics, Bose (no flames). Rega, Monarchy are some of the brands in the past that sounded more mellow.  I have various amounts of listening time, and some a lot older than others, so YMWV. 

This is all from poor memory and no scientific rigor whatsoever.  The flame wars may start, but I mean little harm in my thoughts.

What you'll need, with no room treatment or furniture, is a speaker with very controlled dispersion. How about a Martin Logan?
