To fight aluminum tweeters-try different tubes? What do you have in there now?

I would have to say the speakers (aluminum tweeters). To me speakers make the biggest difference. They all have a very specific sound. It's what sound you prefer.

That being said I have a tube integrated and some tubes are definitely brighter than others. Not by that much but my Ei KT90's are very bright in the upper mids and highs.

Just my opinion

What's your room like? Treated, lots of hard surfaces?
