[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 6843233, member: 607015"] This may seem counter-intuitive, but another option is to use an amplifier with more power on reserve to keep from clipping the tops off of high frequency waveforms. That will make more sense to you after you read those two articles. Mind you, the extra power is not so you can throw more continuous power at your components, it's so you will have clean reserve power. With more power on tap you will be tempted turn it up more, and you can to a small degree, depending on how much power you currently use, but if you're not careful you run the risk of repeating the cycle or simply cooking the coils with too much continuous power. Also, try not to boost high frequencies too much, if at all. Rather, cut your midrange frequencies if possible, to provide the same relative frequency response that you would have by boosting the high frequencies.
