To much high

This weekend I traded my B&W CDM1's for a pair of beautifully finished home-made speakers, comprising a Morel tweeter, Seas (aluminium) mid/low and Seas woofer in a tall housing. I listened to them on a tube amp in a heavily furnished room, and they sounded awesome. Back home (you guessed it....) I connected them to my transistor amp, in a rather hard-sounding room. The low and mid is everything I ever dreamed of, but the top-end is driving me nuts. Since I don't have the cash to change my amp I'm thinking of changing my (silver) speaker cable, or, as some sort of last resort, placing a resistor before the tweeter. Any (other) suggestions?

You can also experiment with spkr. positioning, the most radical being a severe toe in to give you nearfield listening to eliminate most of the room. This should help identify how much the room affects the sound or if it's the gear.

Then again, you can use cables as tone controls.
