Innuos Zen MK III and Cocktail Audio X50D - streamer/servers
Using Auralic dac ethernet input at the moment. Playing with the Roon Eq. Get this and you're set for the future... 
If Audiophiles care about sound, then why so few threads on acoustics
The stores the problem? You visit a high end audio seller and listen to a multi billion system in a poorly treated room without correction systems and you are told it sounds fantastic..... Most people will buy and live with that.Maybe the Roon Eq....

The Zen is very good but should be connected to a roon end point dac (and your internet) through ethernet. 
Whats playing on your system today?
Lynne Arriale - "Trio Live"With John Patitucci and Steve Davis.A live sensation to me. 
Wow an old album that rocked your world
Same for Humble Pie "S/T".Not to say Pugh Rogefeldt "Pugish". Moved me over to electrified music.(incl Jojje Wadenius - later BS&T and Steely Dan).Agree on Montrose. It was a sensation. Came out just before Rush and Queen. Those days... 
Vivid Audio alternatives

Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair
If you’re not afraid of the future, try a Genelec 8351 GLM system (+ sub if you like to play loud bass) or the fabulous Dutch&Dutch 8c. Amps and digital room compensation included. 
Power Cable Suggestions
Isn't it a little weired to invest in power cables without also investing in power cleaning and power stabilization? Not into this yet, just wondering.

+1 @jilu Skip the subs.  
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

Great recommendation on Kevin Gordon :-)Liked Gloryland even more.High quality recordings (much better than Hiatt's..). 
My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey
The 35XTI seems to have very pronounced mids 800-1800 Hz, like a plateau, which may be what you are looking for. Might not sound correct with recordings that already have full energy in this range. 
Brightness
The brightness you are talking about is probably because your system overemphasize the region 2 to 5 khz. Lots of us have the same problem with a great deal of available recordings. Try buy a Loki or invest in some digital processing to find out w...
