Post Subject: Some recommendations.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/26/2019
Vakman, thank for properly formulating our question, it is not frequently happening. First things first: do not buy or replace anything.  It is impossible to get answers or diagnose any problem by wiping out what currently in existing and barbarically replace it with new problem. This is what audio industry does generally, paying own mortgages and buying boats by other people money in way, but it is what I am preaching.

Also, among the problems that you named is not tabby bass or glossy heights but “lacking that suck you into the music” and to fix it completely different tools need to be used. Be advised that I do not feel that “toe tapping factor” is a factor at all. The sucking in music has to do with propagation of listening attention along the Six-Leveled-Listening Benefits and toe tapping is just somewhere at the level 2.5

Anyhow, returning back to your playback. 
 
There are certainly many things in there that I would do differently but you did not name among the problems that you are hearing anything that would suggest me that my recommendations would benefit you at your level of audio demands. So, let fix you problem with toe tapping and let you to decide if anything else in your playback that makes you uncomfortable. 
 
Again, do not change absolutely anything in your playback.  Makes 2 very specific charges that I enumerated below and then spend a week or so to listening your playback. Then let me know how do you feel about the sucking you into the music. It will not fix the problem completely but it will change the way how you sucking you into the music. The feedback that I need from you is not that “it works” but rather what then will bother you in sound. I am asking not because I would need to fix your other problem but because 2 changes that we will be baling will impact some other things and you would need to do with post-change regression adjustments that will be easy. 
 
1)    First thing that I would like you to do is to drop the MF channel’s pedestal. Currently it is sitting on some kind of standoff and angled down. Make it completely horizontal, making sure that axes of tweeter and MF are absolutely parallel. There are ways to deal with angling cannels but at this point, juts for sake of self-illustration, you need to drain the swamp of time-misalignment. 
 
2)    Time align all you 3 channels. The diaphragms of each of you drivers should be equidistant from your eats and pulls from each channel shahs should arrive to your ears at absolutely identical time. There are many ways to do arrival time aliment chose whatever works for you. As you will be done the stuck of your channels will looks very ugly and the frame that you have now will not work out. Do not let it to bother yourself. Make some temporary channels holder and spend that week to listening and to observe your “toe tapping factor”.  You will detect that some purely sonic things got slightly out of whack. Do not worry and do not change anything, this is what I described above as “post-change regression adjustments” and it will be not hard to fix. Focus of your perception, the change of the perception and the amplitude of that “toe tapping factor” that you are looking.
