Am I asking too much?
Is it equally in both channels?Does the tube configuration of your amp share a tube between channels, or are they separate/symmetrical?  Can you try swopping some over from one side to the other?How old are the tubes?  Did they come with the amp? 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Bel Canto. 
Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables.
Geoff Kait evidently lives beside the beach.  Happy combing for 2019! 
The invention of measurements and perception
Wasn't it Beethoven's Ninth?  That can run to 70 minutes.

Looking for a particular amp
Take a hard look at the Coda products.  Very well engineered. 
Sound and vibration control
If you're feeling flush, now try some Isoacoustics Gaia feet. 
Well... guess I have to jump in the rabbit hole of speaker cables... lol
+1.Where are your speakers pointing?  Try orienting them straight ahead, so when you're in the sweet spot you're somewhat off access.Is there a lot of glass in your room?There are a lot of variables here.  Best case you can ameliorate for free, le... 
GIK FreeStand Acoustic Panels and flatscreen
Just to add: previously I had tried draping various thick blankets and similar over the screen, but had not noticed any difference between having them on or off--the screen hugs the wall, while the speakers are well out in the room.  But the GIKs ...
