I am fortunate enough to own a wonderful pair of speakers and yet I catch myself noting how good a flute sounds or some other dissected component of the music rather than the music as a whole. When I'm in the shower and listening to sonos through our bathroom in ceiling speakers, I don't dissect the music and find it much easier to connect with the music.Ach, the classic problem of listening to speakers that have high distortion & for sure ones that are NON time-coherent.
Your speakers (even tho they cost $18,000 for 2-ways) have very high phase distortion & that is preventing you from enjoying your music despite the premium $ you spent.
I would highly recommend the Green Mountain Audio 2-way speakers such as the Rio & the Eos HD. They cost way less than your present speakers but will sound way better. All Green Mountain Audio speakers are time-coherent & give you a realistic music listening experience. They are fatigue-free, let your mind relax & enjoy the music for hours on end on ANY genre of music. They sound like a live band is playing in your room.

Also, pick up the phone & talk to Roy Johnson who is the owner/designer of this outfit based in Colorado Springs. He's a real nice fellow to talk to & very knowledgeable on this subject.
If you are interested in learning more about time-coherence, why it is important to music playback & how it can give you a realistic, life-like music playback experience please read the "Sloped Baffle" thread in the speaker section & pay attention to the posts by Roy Johnson - some excellent articles & references.
