RE: Magnepan 1.7 high frequency harshness

Hi,
This is my first post on this site (great site by the way, lots of useful info).
I have 1.7s for a few weeks now (I also had 1.6 and SMGs before); they are not fully burned yet I think so what I will say may not be relevant.
I do have some of that "harschness" (which I did not have with my 1.6). It may be due to the tweeter which I think is a great improvement over the 1.6's but may call for something a bit smoother in terms of electronics.
That "harshness" is sometime present when I use my passive preamp. When I use my active tube pre, it totally disappears so ...

BTW, I use Nordost Red Dawn ICs (considered by many as "bright"). I don't but I do believe they let "everything" go through so I think that I have to be careful with what I feed the MG's with.
