Overall, I am happy with my system. Have a minor case of upgradeitis. Wondering where you would upgrade. Speakers KEF reference 3 non meta. Continuum 8 amplifier. T+A dac 8dsd dac/preamp. Innuos pulsar streamer. Wireworld interconnects and speaker wires not sure of model.  Room is non treated 15x18. There is carpeting and window treatments.

1st, document what you are actually receiving at your ears, seated position

cd with test tones

Here’s one on eBay

Amazing Bytes CD with 29 1/3 octave Test Tones

Sound Pressure Meter, with bottom threaded hole for tripod mount

Meter on tripod, at seated ear height, at listening position.

Meter doesn’t need to be that precisely calibrated, you will get more or less answers relative to adjacent frequencies.

Make enlarged copies of the insert with test tone list so you can write down the results

Go forth informed

IF you have any tone controls, you can measure the results, and you can make adjustments for your personal taste, perhaps you have age related diminished hearing of high frequencies.

also, great tools to accurately measure the effect of alternate placement/toe-in.
