RE: Speaker vs room vs equipment vs system

I tried a $3000 Blue Circle tube preamp in my system, and while it was dynamic, I didn't like the extra distortions compared to my Placette Passive Pre. I don't think it was a lot smoother, really. I don't think I've ever liked tube systems, overall (though I do like the tubed mics that Chesky uses in their recordings).

I've tried the resistors in the tweeters, and I don't like it. It doesn't fix the problem with the sound -- just makes the speakers duller and less exciting.

I think the problem with the sound is in the upper midrange, along with compressed dynamics, and a too weak bass. I know a sub can help the bass (I shortly had a Rel Stentor III, until it blew up for some reason).
