...you can try putting a felt ring around the tweeter if, indeed, the tweeter is the source of the problem. Also - a sheet (or two) of good 'ole Charmin draped over the offending driver will mellow it's character a wee bit.As Edp said, it might be in the mids. I have a pair of Paradigm Studio 60s that I really do like, but they can get gritty in the midrange when pushed. Many kvetch about the metal-dome on these, but I find the mids to be more problematic.
And, yes... as others noted you might get great results treating the room. Maybe cancel the first reflection point, for eg. Throw pillows, fabric wall hangings, DIY stuff... whatever.
I'm sure better/different gear will also smooth the presentation, but if you like everything else about the speaker... worth as try. The TP thing ain't pretty, but it's free!
Good luck...
