Fortunately, I have tweeter level controls on the U1s and Advents.
I do, however, use parametric EQ on the HT's processor to tame two room modes located around 100 hz.

I have a pretty good dedicated room with a good mix of absorb tion and diffusion. This particular problem can be placed at the feet of mid 70's through early 90's rock producers who for some unknown reason insisted on un-natural treble levels. I thought the problem may have been LP related, but nope, the CD was worse yet. I put on Dire Straits Brothers In Arms - Bingo! Back to near perfect.
I could be that a lot of rock record producers received their electronics training in the military during the Korean and Vietnam War era, and we're deaf above 8 khz - dunno???
Meat; It's the right thing to do. Romans 14:2
Remember they typically mixed for crappy car radios with sub-standard speakers, therefore a boost in treble.

Some of those recordings need base boost too.
