I'd still try rolling to a darker driver tube first. That can completely change what you're hearing. I seem to remember you mentioning that this wasn't a problem with the old system setup?
That don't work, then do some room tuning - never a wasted effort as even a room that you were happy with can usually sound SO much better with a little effort. Hardscaping first to kill hard reflections and the major issues, the a good parametric EQ works wonders to fine tune the room.
My favorite test for high end problems is Norah Jones
Come Away With Me. Her voice and piano would just pierce the ears until I tamed the hard reflections off the ceiling. Simple fix too ... tacked some memory foam carpets up there ...
They weigh next to nothing and set me back less than $20 for both. Easy to do, and really killed the shrill. She's licking my ears now and I keep wanting more ... ;-}
PS ... I got a lot of real nice tubes off that auction site ... some well established sellers on eBay and you don't have to wait for the tubes to break in. I figure I average about $10 a pop.
