Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers?


I have these Spendor D9.2's mated to an MC275 VI and the mids and highs are still too much, sometimes.  Sometimes the sound is sublime based on the recording, sometimes harsh.  I imagine perhaps Focal and B&W folks know what I speak of, maybe not Magico owners.  Even using a C2700 tube pre-amp.  Can this be solved with a WARM tube amp, and if so, which ones?  I like my MC275 VI but I am open to suggestions.

I second other poster’s comment on cables, without knowing what cables you are using, power, interconnect and speaker, no one can tell you why things are off. Another high probability is speaker placement in the room and toe in, it’s very likely you have placed the speakers in the right spot for the bass to couple to your room, therefore tonal balance is off

Even Spendor D9.2 drivers would benefit from grounding wires. Don't believe me? That's okay, but do try it and I'm sure you'll be bewildered and amazed. Those troublesome sources that sound harsh will suddenly be fine.

If a Conrad Johnson amp can't fix it then you should ditch the speakers. Having said that way back I had a pair of Spendor BC1s and still rate them highly. Maybe things have changed at Spendor.

+1 @hilde45 on room acoustics. Often neglected but it is what will make it or break it. Good luck. 

These speakers appear to be absent a bi-amping option. With that, one is arguably  at the mercy of the speakers voicing and minus a remedy to work around any perceived short comings. Ouch
