System too harsh Help

I have a Parasound HALO P-21. Thought it would be good to power my Revel 30 preforma's. I will use a Halo P-3 preamp to try to match equipment but not committed to it. Might need another preamp. I was told to buy Harmonic Technology biwires pro-9. I have nordost cable Balduer running from cd Player , CD player is a conosance ref. 2.2 . Tube output.
I have two balanced cables both of which have not solved problem. Harmonic Technology precesion link and some generic silver wires, both balanced. They run from amp to current preamp Nuforce P-8.

The question is :
1. send speaker cables back. Get different one???
2. Add new cables to the signal path to correct brightness problem.
3. get a different preamp.

It sounds O.K. but highs are too crisp .

Can it be fixed witout a amp change. That damed beast cost too much to ship as well as my revel speakers.

Please help, any input would be great

Depending on your budget first get Clear Day solid core silver Shotgun or Double Shotgun. I replaced HT Pro 9s with these. The improvement in midrange warmth blew me away

Unless the components you are connecting with XLR are in fact balanced circuits, it's a waste of money. But if they are, then they represent what hi-end audio is about. Now if your CD player outs are not balanced then you probably can't tell too much
