Help, My Vandies Sizzle


Hello All, first time posting here, but have enjoyed reading all the posts for several years.
Recently purchased a pair of used Vandersteen 2Cs listed here on A-gon from a great dealer in Hollywood, Florida.
They replaced a pair of Monitor Audio Silver RX8s a few months ago.
 Dedicated listening room with a dedicated 20A circuit, 14x14x8, wood floors over concrete slab, alcoves and bi-fold closet doors allow for some respite from the dreaded "square-room bass boom", heavy area rug covers most of the wood floor, a couple of upholstered cloth recliners, and artificial trees on sidewalls at first reflection points and at front wall between speakers.
Speakers are positioned 7 feet apart, no toe-in, 2 feet from front wall, 3.5 feet from sidewalls, listening chair is 10 feet from speakers. (All measurements measured from tweeters).
Gear is Oppo 103, Krell s300i (integrated). Cables are Anticables.                                                                                   
The problem is a slightly bright sound on most discs, with a definitely hot treble on some, bordering on un-listenable.
Using the mid and treble controls, have tried reducing them by 3 dB. That helped some.
Otherwise, love, love, love these 2Cs.
Not interested in getting back into vinyl.
Will consider any and all suggestions and thank you all in advance for so much good information.

You can easily spend more trying to solve the Vandi problem then you would just getting some newer speakers, say only 10 years old. 

Hello all, got the dedicated circuit done this morning, connected up, plugged in, turned on and...no drama, no surprises, except within seconds, from being unplugged since yesterday, everything stone cold, the first sounds were...absolutely wonderful, amazing even.
Left it on auto repeat the rest of the day.
Just listened a few minutes ago. It's not bright, everything we talk about (tone, timbre, timing, bass, midrange, treble, imaging, dynamics, soundstaging, etc) is all better, and not by a small margin.
Even my WIFE noticed and says she loves how it sounds now!
Best and biggest bang for the buck I have ever experienced.
I did all the labor except for attaching the line to the breaker.
My total cost, including paying the electrician, was about $200.
I can't recommend this enough, but feel compelled to add the almost-obligatory YMMV.
Thanks so very much for all the input, great points posted by everyone.

PS,
To be more specific regarding my music choices, I listen to Rock, Old Country, Pop, Bluegrass, Blues, Jazz, Classical.
I rank according to sound quality (recording quality, not music quality).
I possess roughly 10% class A SQ, 30% class B SQ, 50% class C SQ, 10% class D SQ.
Please note, these are my opinions of recording quality on my system, in no way at all do I consider my system good enough to be class A or B sounding based on Stereophile's rankings of SQ of individual components...
Wow, great!
I am surprised (and, happy) you are getting such a defined change.
