Am I hearing the effects of "clean sound"?

Recently,the weather down here in South Florida has been-in a nutshell-perfect.
Not too hot, not to cold, low humidity, nice breeze.
With this type of weather, there's not a need for us Floridians to crank up the ac.
Leaving the windows open does the job.
When I arrived home Saturday night after watching some football with some friends both my wife and son were asleep and my daughter was staying over a friends so of course it was time to crank up the system.
What I heard set me back in a very good way.
Music flowed effortlessly and clear.
Probably the biggest improvement I heard was a lack of grit, if you will, with the music.
Presence was stronger without any rolled-off highs.
It sounded nice!
Do you think that because of the "cleaner" lines and also it was somewhat late, around 11:30 or so, that the music was some what "cleaned up"?
Is this what one could possibly hear with dedicated lines?
As always, thanks for your input.

I second Elizabeth's suggestion about the windows having at least a partial effect (without knowing anything else about your room). I find that opening the windows has a noticeable impact in my room--it's a less than ideal layout with lots of glass, so my effect may be more pronounced. At any rate, I believe having the windows open basically "vents" the higher frequency reflections that contribute to smearing and grit.

But I'm also pretty convinced that power quality (both time of day, and proper, synergistic conditioning) will contribute as well.
