What is wrong with my system?


Hi everyone -

I’m posting here because individually I think my components are all good, but together my system is not making music, rather is is making bright bass less noise. Honestly, I’m thinking it’s no one component, but the matching of components that is causing this issue. I would like to get everyone’s opinion as to what I’m hearing. My components are as follows:

B&W 802D (first generation diamond)
Audioquest bi-wired Indigo speaker cables

Classe CAM-200 monoblock amplifiers
Audioquest Water XLR interconnect

Bryston BP26 preamp
Audioquest Water XLR interconnect

Mark Levinson 5100 cd player (PCM slow minimum phase)

thanks in advance.

First of all, when a person says "musical", what sound is actually musical? Does the "musical" mean that any audio system is making sound very mush like actual concert sound?
Or, there is more bass than the original music, so the over-boosted bass simply makes your ears pleasing? And, what does the "analytical" mean?
Please, do not say "musical" or "analytical" before you attend real concerts, and compare the feeling of the concerts and sound from your audio. My system does not have a preamp. But mine produces piano music that is very much like piano concert I attended.
