Here's a couple more tweaks that worked on my 602's and should help the 1NT's as well.
Don't bi-wire. It seems to screw up some of the smoothness and intergration.
Remove one of the coupling plates from the rear terminals and replace it with a Radio Shack 1 ohm, 10 watt wirewound resistor (yes, I know it's inductive, that's part of the trick) which will very subtly attenuate and smnooth the highs and the crosover region. For this to work you MUST hook the wires from your amp to the lower input terminals.
Tilt the speakers back on their stands just a little. I found 4 degrees was just right for my room with 24.5" stands under my 602's. The CDM 1 NT's being shorter need taller stands, of course. Helps the sound staging and smoothes the sound just a tad.
