I am not going to get all whiny about it. Alot to like here. Bass is really nice. tonality seems good. just alot of mid presence

Heard they can be a bit spicy yeah.

Yep definitely spicy. I am not giving up on them yet though. I am trying a different preamp. Also just trying to relax into what is.

trying out Freya S with Nexus on. Seems pretty good. mids are toned down just a bit it seems like.

Sometimes when the mids/uppers are too strong, you could just simply try pointing the speakers above or away from your ears as it may be a localization thing rather than sound sig thing.

Good luck with them. Speakers are so much more environmental and gear dependent than the ear-fi I think. I struggle with getting good test drive time out here in Flyover, so I usually end up with retailers that lack egregious return/restock policies.

I think I am happy with them paired with Freya S and Nexus. Seems like a good match. I can try different tubes with my other pre as well.

The ability of the brain to adapt and adjust its internal equaliser is huge and mostly unrecognised. You'll probably adjust. But hey, one doesn't spend money to have to adjust. ...

... If you can back out, don't keep them. Or be prepared to feel "They sound OK now, but..." for a long time.

As @Qildail's post suggests, speakers are never the same in your actual house, so there's always some risk.
