Hi
If the fatigue is caused by brightness, or edginess, the room may possibly be the culprit. Do you have many hard reflective surfaces in your room? Your individual components wouldn't normally produce a bright sound, but in a lively room it can certainly happen. Check out rivesaudio.com. It will help you make that determination.
