For anyone still using these, I think I've managed to find a good way of attenuating the peak in the lower treble without negatively affecting the rest of the frequencies. A layer of micropore tape covering the entire nozzle combined with another one on top covering around 70% of the nozzle seems to work very well at reducing harshness caused by the area between 4kHz and 6Hz, though the effect of this may vary from listener to listener.

Ok, so don’t do this; you need to maintain a slight gap/opening in the micropore or else it messes too much with the sound. I am now using two layers of micro pore across the nozzle with a tiny gap at the bottom.

I'm testing this now with 3M Transpore (because it's all I had on hand) and I can tell you it's already a major improvement. Lost a little bit of the sparkle in the high end, ill report back when my micropore arrives!
These monitors are amazing. For the people messing around with the "peak", the tuning is supposed to sound like Electrostatic/planar speakers, forget the tape mods and get a high current player, these need to be driven properly to get the best sound out of them.
Still can't believe the sound coming out of these little buggers.
They compete with my full size 2 channel speaker system ($20k+), that's saying a lot.
