What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker?

I know the answer is get a speaker that isn't bright,  but I've got a pair of TAD Evolution Ones that I like quite a bit except that the magnesium midrange and beryllium tweeter are just a little bright for me.  I'm driving them with a D'Agostino Classic Stereo, which I needed to drive my old speakers but I don't need all that muscle for the TADs (89db sensitivity, 4 ohm impedance {doesn't drop below 4 ohms}) recommended power 50 to 250 watts. 

I'd like to get  an amp that does voices especially well.  I know somebody posted recently that a subwoofer solved his brightness problem and I may look into that at some point.  Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I would try I warm tube preamp to connect to your amplifier.

@clarinetmonster2, I totally agree. Well said.

Adding body and warmth to the sound naturally balances the sound.

It's a win win situation with no sacrificing of resolution as proposed by other suggestions.

Wow!  Some very amusing ways to fix a simple problem listed here.  Does your playback software contain a graphic equalizer?  If so attenuate the frequencies between 15k and 20k  two or three db.  That will fix it.

I’d cut out pieces of foam and blu-tak them to my ears.

All kidding aside, if you live in Colorado you can try out some Analysis plus cbles that I have and see what you think
