Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ?

Tubes are the way to go.

I pulled the horns out of my Cornwalls and wrapped them in twine after spraying them with some kind of damping spray. Prior to doing this they rang like bells. After, sounded waaaaaay better.

Wow thanks everyone!! Out of 20 comments it looks like the large amount of glass needs curtains, that is inexpensive & easy, I'll do that & the dynamat first, if It's still too bright a tube amp / new pair of speakers will be in the distant future as I have other expensive hobbies like having a mortgage in California, thanks again everyone!

It is not solely the glass, and unlikely to the be the amp.
I would go to a pawn shop, and try any speaker that they have, or borrow a friend’s…
Then report back with findings. 

First things first.
Fix the room before doing anything else.
It's like building a house and making the foundation later on.

It may mean more than just adding curtains.
Place a rug on the tile floor. Wood and tile floors look great with a nicely matching rug (rug shops let you try several rugs for free for a few days before buying).

Why do I say this? Because you will learn so much about how to deal with room acoustics.
It’s also fascinating how some changes seem to make a huge difference and how some are very subtle.

Also, how would you quantify which fix worked? First fix room, then speaker/rack location, then electronics.

I'd agree room would be first thing. Second could be wrap horn rather than change amp. I can only tell you the horn on my Klipschorn went from ringing like a bell to sounding like a damp rag. I tried everything from tiny to large amounts of various damping materials, no sense of natural timbre for me. Still, the damping could work for him if not as sensitive to timbre and tonal anomalies as myself. I still prefer tube amp vs ss amp on Klipsch Heritage, although I did have a little Musical Fidelity M2SI integrated ss in for a time that really wasn't too bad.

If the room needs to be done anyhow then doing it 1st makes sense.

But if the speakers are new, then I would return them quickly.

While speaker placement is important, the speakers are also important.
And your list above does not even mention that the speakers might be a contributor..

The good part is that that list is also a long ways towards having a decent start at an Ishikawa diagram. And they are all valid causal mechanisms that can result in the observed problem.
