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.

Perhaps warm tubes is what you need, not a warm amp.

Also, room acoustics might be at work.

Before you swap out gear, try to analyze your room with REW. The time and trouble it takes to learn to analyze your room is a fraction of the hassle of playing gear-swap whack-a-mole.

+1 @rodman99999 is asking fundamental questions for the OP. If these are not answered, then this really becomes a thread about mindless gear swapping.
