Fuzzy distortion on vinyl........Stylus issue?
You can upgrade to a Blue by replacing the stylus but not a Bronze as it has different innards. Put a few drops of 91% isopropyl alcohol on a Magic Eraser. Drop and raise the stylus (with the cue) into it a few times. 
System problem
Initially, it sounded like you may have blown a combination of the tweeter and/or the midrange resistor fuses in the speakers. But you say you can hear every driver. Then it can only be the power amps. Perhaps they throttle down when overdriven.

@tomic601 It's made me appreciate the 850L a lot more.

Maybe. Not unhappy! It didn't set me back much.

Played all the albums I played last week again on my old 850L tonearm. Always fun.

@slaw I’ve been running it in and today did serious testing by swapping arms. While the Jelco has some glare and is a little shouty compared to the WT clone, it is a lot more dynamic, faster, blacker and retrieves fine detail. C’est la vie.

Took the 12" Well Tempered clone off. Put the Jelco 850L back on.

Alex de Grassi ‎– Southern Exposure (Windham Hill 1983)Solo guitar new age "live to two track digital" on Sony PCM 1600.Sounds great. Clean and sparkling but devoid of any emotion.

Eddie Heywood ‎– One For My Baby (Mercury 1960 mono)Solo piano.  
Amp Speaker Pairing
You might consider looking at the Tekton line of speakers. Ulfberht at $9k. And easier to drive.
