Lots of opportunities for non-destructive tweaking.

You may have a room with too much reflection such that reducing the tweeter output restores the balance. If you like the stock resistors, wait until you hear some good ones! My favorites are Caddock power film resistors in flat packages. You have to mount them on heat sinks, and damp the heat sinks against acoustic vibration.

OTOH, you may have RF noise entering your system through the speakers. Magnepans make good antennas, and adding the resistors may provide enough inductance to reduce the RF noise level. In this case, you could replace the resistors with RF chokes, such as the JW Miller 5522, and get even more benefit.

All this can be done without modifying the speakers, and you can always put the original resistors back to obtain your baseline performance level.
