I would not expect that particular combo of gear to necessarily sound as described, but with room acoustics and other factors, anything is possible.
Could poor synergy integrating system into the room and to your listening position be part of the problem?
It's usually impossible to get a system tuned in optimally without taking this into account, no matter how "good" the components are or might work together.
Have you tried toeing the speakers in or out for example to avoid direct tweeter exposure at the listening position and hear the differences?
Also tweeter height relative to ears usually matters. Does it sound better/worse/different if you listen sitting on the floor versus in a higher chair, for example?
Are speakers positioned in a way that lends itself to optimal bass performance?
Just some things to consider that are common culprits in cases like you describe.
Its always possible that something is not functioning to spec as well but short of exhibiting any blatant issues. Swapping alternate/spare components in and out may be the only way to isolate a problem to a specific piece in many cases.
