RE: Harsh vocals in Magnepan 3.7i

The Parasound Halo Integrated is good enough for the 1.7i, but it is a bit weak for the 3.7i, so it operates at the upper end of its power capacity more of the time and would sound edgy. There are two solutions to the problem, either get a more powerful amp, or unload the bass to a subwoofer, much to the relief of both the amp and speaker. You can use the onboard bass management for that.

Besides that, all the issues of attenuator resistors and break in apply. The speaker will take a while to fill in on the bottom and the lower mids so will start out bright and mellow out with time.

But what you describe sounds more like an upstream problem and likely the amp section.
