mystery muffled mids
Two things come to mind. First is the source, Led Zep LPs sound OK but not that great not sure about Tidal, etc. Those records were mixed down on studio horn systems and when you turn it up to 11 using big horns it rocks the house.  
Upgrade entry level or start over?
Let me take a different approach. Looking at your system I think I would pick a different upgrade path. The LS-50s are well respected but I have a pair and they lack air and top end detail. I think I would look at other speakers for the best upgra... 
You pay for it and you get it...
Don't over think it, big speakers have it going on. If you have the room and the money, just go for it.  
Brand Synergy
The only brand synergy I know is that the face plates look the same. I never had a sonic improvement by matching a single manufacturers gear, quite the opposite in fact.

Manual preamp volume control - Audible Illusions M3B

what does it mean if your cassette deck playback and recording sounds warbly?
How's the Tascam 202MKVII? 
Fuzzy white noise sound coming from tweeter?
If you hear it from the listening position, something is amiss. If you are just hearing amp idle hiss when your ear is next to the speaker, that is normal.

"...@russ69 ok man. stop trolling my threads with negative comments. You are being a jerk..."Sorry but a new deck should not do that, perhaps it should go back for repair/replacement.EDIT: The problem today with a cassette deck is that most units ... 
Manual preamp volume control - Audible Illusions M3B
Just off the top of my head...AI uses two separate volume controls and says they are stepped attenuators. So it should have a quality volume pathway. Others can have motorized stepped attenuators so no handicap there either. The one to look out fo...
