Speakers for.....every type of music?
Welcome! As far as listening to ALL kinds of music goes (that's me really, btw), how satisfied you might be in the long run may come down to how far out of your way, so to speak, you're willing to go and how far your willing to take things...that ... 
“Oppomod” linear power supply
@ptss I did indeed have nearly $8k’s worth of a power treatment and grounding solution (Alan Maher Designs) at the time the OPPO MOD was added to my 103...have added even more since. The 103 is not well ventilated but I’ve had no issues with heat ... 
“Oppomod” linear power supply
I had that mod done to my 103 - astounding difference...air, life, ease, extension, clarity in spades. 
Upgraditis?
No longer know what that is anymore. Discovered Alan Maher Designs some years ago (power treatment solutions). At first I went along with it because I could tell after trying it that it was apparently a great way to enhance the sq of my setup...he... 
Duleland break in time
I tried Duelund interconnects. At first they were...well...underwhelming to me. I decided to let them break in for about a month just to be sure. At first it was a little discouraging because the character didn't change at all for the first 2 week... 
Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...?
Ahhh...and so it begins: what once was free you now have to pay. They could've just opted to give us most the new 'perks' for free.Great move for Audiogon, they'd like to own the casino...they have a constant revenue stream, set the rules of behav... 
Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both
I always thought of "natural" as a broader more inclusive term. But, I've seen "neutrality" defined as both the "coloration/timbre" thing and also as the "bright/dark" or "warm/cool" thing. Maybe we do just have to sorta be more careful about what... 
Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both
Ok, I cheated. I use neutral amps/pre with speakers which I built from scratch. But more importantly the amps allowed me go with active crossovers for these 3-ways, so I was able to 'dial out' crossover related roughness and nonlinearities and nat... 
Good Day for the Jazz Museum; Unlucky for me.
Good story, sorry it did not play out for you, though. Oh well, at least you can visit the jazz museum. Maybe it's a lending library??...hey, just a thought! 
My music sounds brighter
If you need to test, remove the DBX and see if the problem persists. 
My music sounds brighter
I'm curious about the DBX. Where is it in the system and how is it wired. Does it need to be on for you to pass a signal thru to speakers? If so, I would look for a forgotten improper setting...or else it could now be ailing. DBX works first by in... 
Is It Possible?
Welcome to the high end! Sell your $25k speakers and Enjoy!

Natural sweet spot in your system.
EquiCore 1200 or Monster Core 1200? 
Natural sweet spot in your system.
Oh, and room reflections can be a contributing factor too, if your room is particularly live sounding.
