RE: Harsh vocals in Magnepan 3.7i

More amp power might improve things. Also, utilizing the 1 Ohm resistors Magnepan provides can reduce or remove harshness in listening environments that might interact with less sensitivity to the 1.7i Maggies as they don't have ribbon tweeters. If you don't have a subwoofer, that can certainly make the midrange & highs sound thinner and contribute to upper range harshness. The fake ficus suggestion is also good for tempering edgy room acoustics that translate to harsher vocals (in lieu of more elaborate and/or expensive room treatments). Even adding Mye stands can provide major improvements. Of coarse, everyone's mileage varies, but I suspect several of the suggestions here will help make these beauties sing much more to your liking.

Note: I've owned 3.7i Maggies for several years now and vocals don't sound grainy in the slightest. That said, my system is now powered by a Sanders Magtech amp (900 wpc into 4 ohms) and I also employ a 15" sub (Hsu Research ULS-15).
