"What about a high quality 1 ohm resistor?" ...

Yes, that should improve your sound and it's a simple "tweak".

Buy some Mills 10w wire-wound resistors from Michael Percy or parts Connexion. They cost a buck or so, each. I suggest you buy a few pairs of slightly different values and decide which value produces the sound you like best. Say, 0.82, 0.91, 1.0, 1.2 & 1.5 ohms.

Then you can buy a pair of Duelund resistors at the preferred value - these sound even better!

The other good tweak is to put a small choke (inductor) in series with the tweeter. Go and search the Planar Asylum for details.
