Paul,
harmonic balance and frequency response are different things. We presume that if s playback has right (acoustic-like) harmonic balance them, only then, we can talk a bout sane frequency response. Do an experiment. Take your ML2 and load your speaker to 4R tap and 16R tap. Measure the delta of frequency response with a good high resolution analyzer. At non-critical power levels you would hardly see the deference in frequency response but you will hear the change of harmonics balance: more idle tube = less harmonics. So, I would not go into the subject of "response tilting" as a tool to cure harmonics –they are very different things…
