Speaker glare...help

I had a similar issue with my setup (Mezzos). The Utopia tweeters can be a little unforgiving, but once I treated my room with ASC pcad panels, the glare/ringing went away.

thanks for the input but ive tried all the above,was hoping for the miracle answer,lol..Ive run Cardas golden cross and didnt like the results at all(too muddy)..also tried a different player with same results.. real trap panels I have..and im running all power through Richard Greys..im thinking its the Focals ..thanks

With a room of your size I would 'have' to totally damp the wall behind the speakers to stop virtually all reflections off that wall. I would 'like' a one inch or thicker heavy carpet-wall to wall & floor to ceiling. It is extreme, but to determine the possibilty, you could experiment using a queen size bed mattress placed against the wall vertically behind your speakers against the wall. (I hope your floor is carpeted). I'm not suggesting this as a cure for speaker distortion just a basic element for decent 'high end' sound from a room your size. The arrival of reflected sound -no matter where you place your speaker, or where you sit, in a room your size mandates room treatment. The benefit will very noticeable & worthwhile regardless of 'speaker glare'.
I hope this helps. Happy New Year! Pete

Who did your Sumiko Master Set? I'm really surprised it didn't cure your problem, particularly when combined with your room treatments.

The Master Set IS a miracle answer. Properly done it'll take your system to a much higher plain than any more money spent on equipment.

One way to fix your problem is to completely treat the room with "effective" bass traps, nothing less than 4" thick will do. Treat all 4 corners and the ceiling/wall boundaries as well. The wall behind the speakers would be best treated with bass traps as well. Don't completely cover any surface or you will "deaden" the room too much.
Two bass traps behind the listening position will also help.
You should end up with 10 traps in the room when finished. I have 12 traps (from Real Traps) in a room almost the same size as yours and it really sounds good.
