What am I hearing? (p11a question)

I'd recommend getting used to it.

Turn the tweeter down with the trims on the back panel of the P11A. Thats what I would try. I would also trim the gain to see if that helps, but you may also want to evaluate your DAC and monitoring chain, not to mention how the monitors are oriented in your mix position. Sometimes these issues can be solved by getting a truer electronic monitoring path, IE a passive attenuator or master controller. I would not use any kind of processor in the way you suggest.
