As some of you may know I scored some Platinum Audio Studio 3's off of ebay recently. After experiencing the "joy's of biwiring" firsthand (see previous thread), I sat down to listen to these speaks yesterday.I was listening in 2 channel stereo in my living room.

I'm running a:

Onkyo 898 receiver (its' not monoblocs but it'll do)
Yammie CD 675 CD player (analog mode)
Platinum Audio Studio 3's - 3 way floorstander with two 5"s and a domed tweet.
First generation Monster Cables wired direct to the speakers.

After about 3 hours listening to these speakers my ears were not feeling all that well. I found that (even after setting the speakers up and calibrating them) these speakers had a very "up front and bright" mid to high end. Bass was ample and substantial but overall the speaker was damn near shrill. I'd been running Ohm Walsh F's ver.2 before this and had kicked the highs up a notch on the receiver while running them After turning the tone down to 0 on the receiver I still found it bright as hell.

What can I do to allevieate this problem, aside from the tone knob on the receiver?

Any help would be appreciated.

PS I changed Mains because my son's Mum didn't like the look of the Ohms. She said and I quote "Pyramids are for the desert, NOT the living room". I told her to lump it but I scored these (far more pleasing to her eyes) Plastinums and decided to give em a try. These are my first "slimline" modern speaker. I'm NOT impressed. Sigh... go fig.
