What can i do to make my tube preamp sound warmer?

Hi,

I have an Adcom GFA5802 300WATTS POWER AMP connected via $200 Vivanco Silver interconnects to a Line Stage Tube Preamplifier... The output sound from my 3 way Cerwin Wega Speakers is too bright and shrill.. As the volume is increased, the sound hurts the ears and makes me wanna switch it off .. I dont know adams about tubes, and it will help greatly if someone could let me know what changes in the tubes will make the overall sound more smooth, balanced and warm..

Power Supply : 5Y3 ; Line-Stage Tubes : 12AX7A x 3

Dear All,

Thank your very much for your honest and satisfying answers.. Infact most of your suggestions proved a valid point, that i had suspected in the first place with the 300 Watt Cerwin Wega's Spkr and the silver interconnects..
Both are too bright to be on the same side ... I will start with replacing the interconnects first and then the cerwins.
