To Mofojo,
I would ask you to discribe your room/listening space firstly. Any wall treatments, carpet, ceiling tiles etc. I mention this only because you mention a hardening upon loud levels. My finger wants to point to the Crown amp on this. Far better options I think are available. Was your room too small for the Tekton DIs you had ?
I believe the listening space and their acoustic treatments are just as important as the gear used to join in a synergy that brings music to life and beyond.
Been at this for 45+ years one way or another, which means squat other than I know what I like, my musical tastes, the equipment that melds together to form that certain synergy that puts a smile on my mug.
East Michigan here, Metro Detroit area. Enjoy.
