I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!

Hello all.
To start here's my system:  Harbeth Compact 7es-3 speakers with DIY 10" subs. JL Audio CR-1 crossover. Rotel RB 981 power amp for the subs. Ayre KX5mp pre amp. SMC Audio DNA1 Gold power amp. Cardas reference neutral interconnects. Kimber 8Tc speaker cables. Oppo BD105 player. 

The system sounds great but it does not move me. I want the music to touch touch my soul. I have been through many different speakers in the past 4 years but I like the Harbeths the most. I feel bored when I'm listening. I'm not sure what to do other than spend more money. Any help?
Thanks in advance.

@OP, I’m in Chicago suburbs. You’re welcome to come by to listen to some of your music or mine on my system.  I’m not suggesting my system is for you or great for everyone. But the number of brick and mortar dealers has dwindled and its hard to hear systems put together for synergy’s sake.  

I have two different setups—SS and tube.  I also have it setup to do hybrid-tube pre with solid state amp.  I have a tube and regular DAC.  I also have a SET 300b amp. Many probably have more than I but I have a good options to suit my changing moods. 

Some days i want a burger. Some days I want fish. Other days vegetarian.  And it’s no different in hifi for me.
