Welcome to the club lol.
While I really like the old wilsons they are not forgiving and I would guess they are the root cause.
I don’t know your amplification at all. But I have lived with the same issue with a number of brands (B&W, Thiel etc).
A lot of this issue went away for me when I moved away from class d amplification to a McIntosh MC462. It let the detail through but softened the edge in a way. Hard to say but I am listening to “normal” music for the first time in a long time.
Root cause is probably the speakers but a “softer” front end might help. Tube pre or something.
