Didn't some of these early models have a required electronic equalization for bass?If that is not working right, then the bass might be overly subdued and you would hear the lack of balance as being too much treble.
Your ear is more sensitive around 1-3 kHz, and you perceive a 'bump' more than a 'dip' even though it is the dip which is the problem.
The review linked also said that the 11 inch stands were effectively required and improves the percieved spectral response.
