Maggies by nature are on the bright side of the spectrum. The tweeter is a midroscope that will reveal all before it.
A couple of tweeks may help however changing components appears to be the issue.
I agree about using a sub to even out the freqencies will reduce the brightness.
Not all panel speakers are bright. Apogee, Soundlab and Analysis are not.
if it were me a CJ amp and a tubed DAC or CDP would be the way to go.
Maggies just sound more natural with components that are rich or warm in character. That tweeter will never sound better.
