Will a tube amp tame a harsh metal tweeter??

I have a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 8i speakers. I love everything about them but the harsh and overly bright metal tweeter. They have an excellent soundstage, puncy mids, tight bass, and are very accurate and detailed. I've tried other speakers and I can't seem to find anything that has all of these qualities and the same amount of weight in the bass department. However, I am having a hard time living with the Monitors because the highs can be brutal. Would adding a tube preamp or tube integrated amp solve this problem and soften the sound of the metal tweeter? Also, does anyone have any other suggestion for a speaker that has all of the above mentioned qualities, is reasonably efficient(at least 89db), but has a soft dome tweeter??
