To much high

This weekend I traded my B&W CDM1's for a pair of beautifully finished home-made speakers, comprising a Morel tweeter, Seas (aluminium) mid/low and Seas woofer in a tall housing. I listened to them on a tube amp in a heavily furnished room, and they sounded awesome. Back home (you guessed it....) I connected them to my transistor amp, in a rather hard-sounding room. The low and mid is everything I ever dreamed of, but the top-end is driving me nuts. Since I don't have the cash to change my amp I'm thinking of changing my (silver) speaker cable, or, as some sort of last resort, placing a resistor before the tweeter. Any (other) suggestions?

"To much high"

Is that different than 'From much high'?

I think you meant 'too'. :-)

I definitely agree with NOT using errors in other components to fix errors in another.

Try to fix your room as much as possible. After that, add a resistor to the tweeter circuit. (This resistor must be added BEFORE the tweeter's filter cap or you'll change the crossover point. This may be easy or difficult depending on the complexity of the crossover.)
