Mods for bright speaker?

I was looking at the Monitor Audio Bronze 2. It has been reviewed better than Acoustic Energy EVO 1 or Jamo but I'm afraid it will be too bright with Yamaha receiver. What Hi-Fi ended up pairing the Acoustic Energy (instead of B&W 303's)with a Sony for just this reason.
I've heard of 1) tissue paper over the tweeter and 2) using felt rings around tweeter. Is there any simple mod to the x-over (add a capacitor)? Or should I just go with the Acoustic Energy?

Ncarv, and all thanks for the advice. I will try the Monitor Audio Bronze and if it's too bright then probably just pass on it.

How about Walker Audio High Definition Links for Thiel speakers? But I've always wanted to like Thiel but except for the new 1.6, the highs kill my ears. Even with McIntosh tube gear. What a bummer. Do you think they would fix the Thiels?
