Musician vs. audiophile


We need direction here. My wife, a musician and says my Sophia 3s, powered by BAT 3VK IX tube pre amp and 250w solid state amp sounds flat compared to a freaking Best Buy box store McIntosh/Martin Logan setup...  I can't honestly disagree, specifically when our rig is at low volume.  It lacks color and punch, even with 2ea. JL 12" subs... Help me with your recommendation, please!!!

My step father was a musician as well as a uncle in the family . Neither one cared about hifi systems . The uncle told me he did his listening in his Honda SUV . i'm sure he opted for the upgraded sound system . No speakers in his house however . He is a piano/keyboardist . My passed stepfather was a guitar/ singer in many bands he formed . Mostly christian rock. Again he had no speakers in his house except a portable boombox he listened to Dire Straits cd's on while picture framing as a business . This has lead me to believe musicians do not care for hifi . Never asked them why but it is odd to me .
