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

With Horn / compression drivers, I have always preferred lower-power tube amps. Listening in close proximity to horn / compression transducers at louder levels can cause listener fatigue. With lower-power tube amps, the Forte should be much more tolerable and not sound quite so bright.

Update: All speakers and cabinets now dynamatted and sound a little better. The toe in helped, pulling them out to +/- 12" from the wall helped. Planning to stuff the bottom cavity with foam. Will hang blankets soon and update. Someone mentioned replacing the tweeters with another type but I can't find the post. Anyone remember?

Maybe leave out foam from Beth woofers?

Do you have an REW sweep of the room?

Update,. Hope you guys are still out there, I know it's an old thread now but ...Dynamatted all the horns / woofers. Ok, big job but covered all the glass in the room w/ sheets / blankets, 3 large sliders & windows, covered the large glass dining table, tile 1/2 wall, pictures w/ glass, stainless steel fridge, ovens, some cabs (kit open to L/R), 60" tv & glass fireplace front. And ............. all of you are correct, sounds much better, the shrieking highs are gone. Litmus test was Pink Floyd DSOTM time, and Gershwin, rhapsody in blue. Tried with everything coverd, sound great. Then with just the sliders / windows covered, last with nothing covered. Conclusion: drapes will eliminate 75%+ of the tinny sound. So now will investigate drapes, I saw some on amazon for a very wallet friendly solution. I always likes the dynamics of the Klipsch speakers they just need to be toned down. Nothing quite like them when playing Pink Floyd, Classical, or anything with a sax which I love like Sonny Rollins, not to mention rock. They are not perfect, they lack the lush, richness of some other speakers. But keeping for now. Thanks again everyone! p.s. thanks holmz, they do sound better w/o foam under them.

Ahhh “under”.

I am thinking you meant open cell foam inside of the cabinet!
