Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP

I just bought a used 6 month old Magnepan 1.7 and hooked them to my old system, which consists on a Deonon 2900 Universal player, Emotiva USP Preamp and Rotel 1080 power amp and use anticables for speaker connections, and monster cables for interconnects.

The sound is too bright for me, I used the provide 1 ohm resisters, still too bright, any recommendations.

Rockguitardude has it right
Try the 1.5 ohm or Evan higher resistors which Magnepan can provide
Try tilt back and play with toe in tweets on inside
Let them run in for at least 100 plus hours at low volume
Plug all AC gear into the wall not a cheese box computer strip

(((I suppose if you find it acceptable to compromise you can use the resistor..)))
Suppose???
WTF Resistor is supposed to be installed to begin with....
Most all rooms need the supplied resistor
Its not a compromise.....
Its an important part of the set up.
Every room is different having this flexibility with different value resistors and experimenting is the right way toward a solution.
