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.

I would definitely look to replace the anticables. I have found them to be too bright with every combination of equipment I have used them with. Also, the Rotel 1080 amp sounds a little tilted up in the upper midrange to me when I heard on in my system a couple of years ago.

Hopefully, changing just the speaker cables will make a big enough difference.

I would try MAC CuQ..........very smooth, but detailed with a huge soundstage.

Good luck.
