TNT - the resistors cut back the amount of signal that goes to the tweeters... like closing the tap a bit on the audio hose running to the tweeter. Cutting back a straight "treble" control (which probably operates over a 3
octave band!) will also cut back what's sent to the woofer.

Each solution does a different thing - it's up to you to decide what it is you want. Can't help you there, I don't find Axiom speakers bright. *G*
