i would challenge your setup- speaker positioning and listening position. when positioned properly the SHL5s have amazing stage depth and disappear completely. they need to be 4-5 feet from the wall and you should listen nearfield in an equilateral triangle. they are nearfield monitors after all.

I have the C7ES and properly integrated with a very easy to integrate JL Audio subwoofer (D110). this combination comes extremely close to the sound of the 40.2s at a fraction of the cost.
