Before you sell them at a loss, try facing them straight ahead (no toe-in).
I did that with my 803 D3 and was very happy with the sound.
It might work for you too.

Of all the advice, getting an EQ is the worst. Your room is a big part of the sound. Look into ways to incorporate soft items into the room. Rugs if you have hard floor coverings, etc. I’ve had luck with well placed plants like you see at audio shows. Are you only on digital sources? Consider adding analog. Are you all solid state? Consider getting a tube based preamp. Also note that most advice you receive here boils down to “buy what I’ve got”. Use your ears. Investigate, try stuff. This is the fun part of the hobby. |
I agree with @dishman442 about the room. My room is acoustically treated with panels on all four walls and the ceiling. Also, the floor has a large area rug over the wood flooring. With my 803 D3 toed-in (per the manufacturer) it was too bright. Facing them straight ahead worked wonders. Also made soundstage larger. |

If repositioning doesn't work, I'd suggest trying a Schiit Loki Max to take down the top end a little bit. It's a lot less money and hassle than selling and buying speakers, and you might find it useful to adjust some recordings, to boot. Occasionally, they appear on the used market, or you could try Schiit's policy that lets you try at home for 15 days and return it for a 5% restocking fee. Or maybe it's just me who hates dealing with speaker changes.
