Hi, Martin (OP)
Much wisdom spread throughout the thread here and elsewhere online.
My 2 cents...
For a great condensed reference that touches on all this and much more, you may want to get a copy of Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound"
https://www.getbettersound.com/store
Jim is one of the best in the audio / music biz and there are many things within its pages that may help solve your issue or at least improve the quality of what you hear. It is likely to help with other considerations and improvements as well.
Although his in-person, in-home consultations are pricey, he offers very reasonable 30 minute phone consultations. The book and the chat might be the best investments you can make (or will ever make) in your system and setup.
Cheers,
Ken
