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+ ?

pureclarity - I don't understand why the Magnepan crossover upgrade is so expensive. I converted my 1.6's to an active electronic crossover, removing the passives, rewiring to the panels to exclude the fuse, using Cardas gold plated copper binding posts and it was less than $3,000 including a used second amp and four new interconnects. What in the world are they using in there?

BTW - I've been fuseless for 15 years. No problems.
