I got a pair of nice Kef speakers from Dennis for my kid, but they are too bright with his amp. I want to try a resistor in series with the tweeter, but it seems like an L-pad would be better - this is quite informative:

Does anyone have experience with resistors in series to a tweeter - specifically, how it affects crossover points?

It'll be expensive to do a trial and error approach (I don't know how much attenuation I would want) so I was also wondering if anyone has any experience with a variable L-pad setup?

I could buy one of these:

Thanks for any input.
