Samaul, Brulee is right, put at least 100 more hours on the speaks, I would even say 150 before you do any critical listening. I'll bet you'll hear a big difference. Good luck.

If your gear does not have 3 prong AC plugs, try reversing them. The other advise is good.

Hi Samual. I have a Bel Canto pre amp that had amperex tubes. I changed to telefunken tubes and the difference was absolutely remarkable. My system went from an edgey bright sound to a lush warm balanced sound. Go figure. Good Luck Harvey

A number of things come to mind without seeing the listening room. Accoustics are an esential component, and I have found some reasonable treatments @ Accousticsfirst.com. You also have cables that have to be chosen carefully, and as already stated before is adiquite break in time. These areas if paid attention to will solve alot of problems you have stated without wasting your money.

Thanks for all of your advice,will keep on breaking in the speakers, I have been using Echobuster to treat the room,thinking of adding a pair of argent roomlens at the side of speakers to cut down reflection,but do not know if it will be effective.And Harvey I been using the Telefunken 12ax7 smooth plate before I bought the speakers and got great results from it but when I also try changing the three 12au7 to Telefunken ribbed plates the sound became muddy and uninvolving,maybe too much of it is no good.
