Resistor to tone down tweeter?


I have a pair of Focal 918s. I was curious about trying to tone down the tweeters a bit.
What options are there?
Can I wire a resistor in front of the tweeter? If so what size/rating would it be.
I would like to get a little more volume without the excessive treble.
Thanks Jayson

Certainly treat the first reflection points in your room. Also if there is a wall close to your back. You can get some panels from GIK http://www.gikacoustics.com. I prefer them because they work well, are very reasonably priced, and for WAF you can get them covered with acoustically appropriate material of any picture/photo you wish.

Also recommend less toe-in so tweeters are not hitting your ears so directly.

And if your baffles have relatively sharp edges or are wider than your drivers, try a pair of natural wool felt pads from Jim at http://www.diffractionbegone.com. These reduce HF baffle reflections and corner diffractions.

And for a quick and cheap bandaid treatment, tape a small piece of paper towel so it hangs over them. For WAF use the kind printed with pretty stencil :^).
