Never heard the big peaks and but have a pair of empress. FWIW with some low powered tubes or wrong SS amplification (I tried Dartzeel) the bass can definitely sound muddy.
However lifeless mid range for me is new as in my opinion that is presicely the area where these speakers shine.
I myself bought them primarily for this strength as I am a vocals freak :-)
However I have not paired my speakers with too many amps and have not listened to too many speakers either so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
All the best.
