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+ ?

Hi Maggie 3.7i owner I'm using . 57 resistors, I find they tame the high and mids just enough. I tried some over 1 but found they just smothered the high end. As for cable I'm using Canare 4s11 a very reasonable but great sounding cable used in many studios 

Good luck happy listening.

For anyone wishing to try a bunch of different value resistors check out JF components they have many audio quality of under $2.00 each, I just placed an order myself. They also carry speakers and other audio components.
