ADS L-810's way to bright?


I have a pair of L-810,s in beutiful condition But too bright, I'm taking them apart today to find out why? I have the original schematics but the cross overs appear to be for tweeters, mids only. so my question is how do I get more bass or less highs. It would seek logical that any problem in the tweeter midrange would be a negative effect not more. Any advice would be grateful.

Sorry the info was vague. Source, Nakamichi DMS 2A CD player with Johnny cash in the slot, amp is a Jolida 302A integrated.
M1sst1 is correct, nothing is wrong with the speakers a friend of a friend owns these and their big brother and says that is the sound and it sounds fantastic to him. I purchased these to make the wife happy and replace the Maggie's with a smaller footprint speaker but they don't sound like the Maggie's so I will be selling them shortly. The bass is fantastic and the mids are great but I don't think the little cymbols on a taborine should be that noticable.
I Don't want to chase ghosts both speakers sound identical,
I doubt the caps are bad or they would sound different. I need to find another ADS L-810 owner to listen and verify that the sound is correct for these speakers.
So after taking these to a friends house and listening on his MC 30's and they sounded great but still some what bright at times. I then talked to my Repair guru who stated the tweeters are using mylar caps which never go bad however the dome shape of the tweeters disperses the sound and after removing my acoustic ceiling, most of the carpet and having leather instead of cloth furniture with my cathedral ceiling I'm doomed. The Maggie's are very directional and avoid these pitfalls of the room. So the speakers are for sale they work as designed and look great.
