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

@audioman58 Way too much info for this thread, OP looking for simple fixes. I happen to agree with you, my Klipschorn, extreme mods.
I saw OP later post. He has idea of fixing room first, this is exactly how he should proceed. He then mentioned amp or new speaker next, Either could be best move for him.

@sns 

 I'm surprised you can make heads or tails of his posts. That's some tough reading right there...

1. Every speaker I have ever owned has benefited from room treatment. If what you're describing is accurate, (room) you won't be totally happy with any speaker until you take care of the room.
2. Those old Pioneers Receivers are grainy and miserable sounding... get rid of it!
3. Klipsch speakers done right, in the right room can be transforming! You might need to spend some time and money with crossovers, a little damping, tube amps, interconnects, etc. 

Ozzy62 maybe I should have simplified it for you.most people don’t have 20+ years into mods throughout .
in the vast majority of speakers the Stock Xover is a liability ,
or weak link. The room for sure can be problematic .
not seeing the layout ,and damping,or lack of is hard to say what is needed
