In don't know the speaker you propose modifying, either personally or by reputation. I would suggest that you not buy a product that you feel you need to "fix" to make it okay for you. Unless you enjoy tinkering for its own sake, that is. If you are "wed" to the Yamaha borrow the speakers and take them home. Same with the AEs. As for the AEs they are hardly the ultimate in transparency but I doubt that they would "filter out" nasties from a bright source. It is too good a speaker for that.
Mods for bright speaker?
I was looking at the Monitor Audio Bronze 2. It has been reviewed better than Acoustic Energy EVO 1 or Jamo but I'm afraid it will be too bright with Yamaha receiver. What Hi-Fi ended up pairing the Acoustic Energy (instead of B&W 303's)with a Sony for just this reason.
I've heard of 1) tissue paper over the tweeter and 2) using felt rings around tweeter. Is there any simple mod to the x-over (add a capacitor)? Or should I just go with the Acoustic Energy?
