I'd be wary if you don't have good a/b capability. You may be listening to truncated information. The highs are critical to spatial presentation and what you were hearing before may have been a truthful exposure of the source limitations. I have a number of tubes, cables, and capacitors trialed in my system that eventually exited because they were doing information subtraction.
When does speaker distortion become audible?
I recently got some seas excel speakers and when I fired them up for the first time I thought to myself "wow, there's no distortion".
I find this interesting because I never really thought I was hearing any distortion from my previous speakers but maybe I was, and just didn't pick up on it until now.
Interesting side note, I think my personal speaker taste is moving towards less analytical, super detailed sound to a more musical, tone based preference (I think I'm becoming less tone deaf, lol).
