Clarity and presence at high(er) volumes is one of the hallmarks of high quality equipment and equipment interface (synergy). You've got some good stuff but I don't know if its that good, or synergistic. If I had to guess which component might be a problem it would be the Spendor's. These are excellent speakers but I'm not at all sure that they do what you want at high levels. (Thats why lots of folks pay big bucks for speakers with SOTA drivers - they 'can' sound great at high SPL's).
Actually my first guess though is that even though the volume is not "ear splitting" you may simply be overdriving your room (you didn't mention its size or sound pressure levels you consider less than ear splitting. Assuming of course that your software and sources are capable and your expectations are reasonable.
