Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers?

I have these Spendor D9.2's mated to an MC275 VI and the mids and highs are still too much, sometimes.  Sometimes the sound is sublime based on the recording, sometimes harsh.  I imagine perhaps Focal and B&W folks know what I speak of, maybe not Magico owners.  Even using a C2700 tube pre-amp.  Can this be solved with a WARM tube amp, and if so, which ones?  I like my MC275 VI but I am open to suggestions.

please take note of the suggestions I mentioned in the D9.2 run in thread.  

however amplifiers and tubes (with tube amps) do also make a difference.

My D7s sounded excellent with a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II as well as a Rogue Audio RP-7 preamp and Stereo 100 amplifier.  The RP-7 and Stereo 100 are very dark sounding pieces.
