I have BP20s with a tube pre-amp(Audible Illusions)helps tame what I consider a harsh top end. Also use copper ICs and speaker cables, silver will only make them brighter. They like and can handle lots of power. I bi-amp and bi-wire them with 200 watt amps. Have tried strapping the amps in mono(600 watts)and running one per side, helps mostly in the lower range where you already have built in amps.

Good luck
A tube preamp will help, you need to match output voltage of the pre with what your amp requires for an input. CJ 10 or 11 (2volt output)will sound less harsh. Both are older models, no longer in production, fairly cheap as used. I use a Audible Illusions 2D. When i was trying to tame the harshness other people recommended CJ 10 and 11 for me too.
