If anything, I'd think that the added resistance in series with the tweeter should be considered more of a "brute-force" approach, since it uniformly decreases the entire tweeter output range(about 3,000-20,000hz). This might be helpful in very live listening rooms where a uniform decrease might not be too far off target. It doesn't address with any degree of precision or flexibility poorly recorded items(particularly common in pop recordings)which could use frequency adjustment on a selective basis. Tone controls are helpful and are meant to be used, but then they can be turned off when not needed. Better are the more flexible equalizers available on some receivers or as separate units.
An intermittant problem shouldn't be addressed with a permanent change.
