Egglestone Andra 1 tweeter "crossover"


A friend of mine told me that my Andras 1 will sound better if I use a good quality, non-inductive resistance, of 1 ohms in serie of each tweeter. If I do that, he says that the sound will be similar of the Stax Omegas 007 earphone. I will be pleased if someblody can help me in that. Regards, Francisco.

Thank you for your prompt answer. It is correct, I am trying to lower a little the high frecuency response of the tweeters (I always hear classical and jazz music and sometimes I find them too bright for my taste). I am using VTL MB-250 amplifiers with Transparent Reference XL-V speaker cables to the Andras 1(I also have a Sony SCD-1, AU24 RCA interconects to the Blue Circle BC3 Galatea pre-amp and Transparent Reference XL RCA to the Amps too). I had used another pair of Au24 interconnects between the pre and the amp but the sound was too analytical and crystalline sharp...
Thank to Jeffreybehr, Gs5556 and Audio999 for their comments and suggestions. The Andras haven't crossover (the drivers are directly connected to their imputs terminals). I think it is a good idea to use potentioneters intead of fixed resistors. NMT 1000 ohms pots (how many watts?)? Where can acquire them Jeffreybehr? I will take in consideration the room surface and the wall reflexions as well as speakers placements. Thanks again.
