Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence

I need some suggestions on how to improve my system.

Guitar sounds too woody and need some treble bite. The vocal reproduction
does not have enough presence.

I also built some of  my speakers but non of what I do could make the system sounding a little forward.  It's too laid back.

My hearing at high frequency is not very good so that could be an issue.

System:
Speakers : Thiel CS2.4
Preamp: Pass XP10
Amp: Sim Audio W7
DAC: Ayre QB9
Speaker cable: Acoustic Zen Hologram II
Interconnect: QED reference 40 XLR

Any help would be appreciated.

FWIW I think there might be an imbedded statement in this post, not so much a plea for help. :-)

I think our collective leg is being pulled.

Put some headphones on and start with flat eq. Eq up different frequency bands and determine what EQ conditions get you to a point of satisfaction. (I.e. study your self)

Thereafter, get some Schiit eq for your main rig and adjust to taste.

The problem is either your speaker setup, acoustic treatments, or the speakers themselves. Nothing else will help, so ignore the snake oil suggestions.
