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+ ?

LRS owner here. My set up is balanced w/o a resistor.

I 50 Hz high pass the input to My Cary CAD 200 amp driving the Maggies. I use a Rythmic 15 in sealed sub set to 50 Hz. The LRS are 4 feet from the front wall with the tweeters on the inside.

The sound is balanced and full range.
