If you are going to be taken seriously then you must do serious listening tests. You cannot do serious listening tests doing what you do. Here are a few suggestions:
You need to treat your room.....horrible sounding......reflections everywhere. You need to get some better cables....make sure they are all off the floor.....including the power cords. You need some serious racks and footers......you are using nada for support......footers and stands make a serious improvement You cannot stack gear.....each piece needs to be isolated by itself......get the equipment either way back or closer to the floor as stuff in the middle and high up will mess up the sound. You cannot have anything in front of the speakers or it will mess up the sound. Your table is in front of the speakers. You need to do defraction control (felt around full range and tweeter). You need to mount the full range with all its screws (preferably brass). Your box needs to be made of 13 ply birch plywood or other constrained layer material and have damping material inside. You need to wire your drivers directly to the voice coil wires. The Voxative has HORRIBLE sounding binding posts. All binding posts, spades and bananas suck. You have not heard any driver till you wire directly from your amp to the voice coil wire. Ground Enhancers on the ground voice coil wire will help a lot. All drivers.....especially full rangers need to be burned in (loud playing) for at least 200 hours before they show you what they can do. Every driver requires a different size box. Some will sound better with a port. Most sound best on open baffle. You do not want a square box.....worse sound. Bypass the input switching in your preamp.....you only have one source. All wiring and switches degrade the sound. Get some serious line conditioning (i recommend low distortion sine wave inverter running off batteries and then extra line filtering afterwords). Treat you CDs (way better sound with treated CDs)....look on my website (tweakaudio dot com) for CD tweaking suggestions. Of course there is more.......but if you did all the above you would cry....it would sound so good. Have fun.
To say something sounds "Chinese" is a serious ego statement. You need to look in the mirror. Here is a video of some Chinese 8 inch full range Lii drivers in a box. I don't hear any Chinese sounds. His system is maybe $3000 worth of gear.....hardly tweak.....but the sound speaks for itself. People all over the world are going crazy about the Lii speakers......and only one person has heard them without the horrible sounding binding posts.......imagine the posted system with no binding posts on the speaker box and none on the driver......would have way more information.
