it sounds like that somewhat

On my maggie 3.6's as well, and that's with 1.5 ohm tweeter attenuation resistors & the choke tweak.

It's not too bad with the attenuation, but a lot of what you're hearing is the harshness and "sssshhh" that comes from excessively heavy dynamic range compression algorithms applied in the remastering of pop music. (Their target is to 'pop out' on earbuds). Most likely if you had a revealing headphone, like Sennheiser HD800, you'd hear it too.

I hear none of it with modern well recorded classical (they don't do that shit there).

Advice: increase your midrange tweeter attenuation resistor. Like one ohm or higher.

BTW The 3.7's midrange, being a fast QR (which is a tweeter in other implementations) goes higher than the 3.6's and the relative frequency ranges are in the midrange.

Also increase your bass below 200Hz as well, your ear and brain is sensitive to global balance.
