I would contact Axiom to see if they can offer any solutions. I have an old pair of Klipsch KG 4.2's and I thought they where too "bright". I found when I moved from my previous house that had hardwood floors and lots of windows to a home with carpet and an odd shaped room seemed to "tame" the brightness.

I hope it works out for you. I know it can be disappointing spending money on something that doesn't fit your personal tastes.

Good luck.
