Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?

I have a pair of LRS+ and after playing with the set-up positioning for a while I have finally found the spot where everything aspect of the sound is right apart from the treble: it is simply too high, and is tiresome after a couple of records.

But Magnepan knows it and fit a pair of sockets to allow the user to play with 10W resistors, ranged from 1 to 2 Ohm.

The resistors that come with the speakers are not the best and some users refer that they affect the sound too much.

So I wonder, what are the best resistors to fit in the LRS+ ?

Putting a resistor on Maggies to solve a HF problem would be a last resort for me. Placement, toe in or toe out, different amp, tone controls, PEQ, etc., would all be tried first.

Why is it a last resort? If a manufacturer put it on the crossover instead or a guy like me sold you a modded (’non bright’) magnepan and you just didn’t know about it, everything’s ok then?

Wondering what the logic is around here.....Is the key here that you didn't know about it (so some belief system didn't intervene)?
