I owned the 1Sc and loved them with solid state - Mosfet of high quality and tube-like sound mind you. Looking at your system, I would say that you now have a pair of very revealing speakers that possibly show you all the weaknesses you have upstream. They can be round or edgy depending on partnering equipment and cables. Sorry to be harsh but here it is: unless you are in this hobby to continually upgrade in which case the move to 1SC is a step in the right direction, bringing 1SC in your current set up can be a nightmare for the average Joe who is just trying to enjoy music. I would tell you right away to either rebuild your system around the 1SC (which are one of the greatest $2k mini-monitors ever IMHO) or sell them right away.
Boomy and harsh at the same time is what happened to me in a previous audiofool life and it costed me hard earned $$$ before I got off and sold my poorly matched gear. 1 SC will be exactly what you experiment with inadequate amplification (not enough power and loose bass) and ultra-resolving source. You may have both in your system.
Finally, I had best success with my 1SC nearfield, slightly toed-in and diagonal set-up. But both my source and my amp were on the neutral to warmish side.
Good luck and one advice again: do not let these drive yourself crazy. If you cannot fix it and did not plan to spend $$$ for the rest of your system, sell them...easy to sell for over $1,000 on Agon.
