Seimens will do the opposite. Their treble can be very pronounced. Mullards tend to be more laid back and would be a better choice. Amperexes might work, but they can also have a pretty strong treble. Another thing to keep in mind is that there are substantial differences between different years of Amperexes and Siemens. This is a complete science in itself, and you can look into Joe's Tube Lore if you want to get an idea of all of the 6922 variants. If you want an excellent Mullard that will tame the high frequencies look at the list that is linked below and order the "E188CC=7308 Mullard GP". This is a premium variant of the 6922, and they ain't cheap, but experimentation can get very expensive, and lesser tubes (cheaper tubes) usually aren't all that good.
