After more critical listening, my overall impression is that the bass EQ helped, but not as much as originally thought. I may have been wanting to hear a difference more than I did. I've decided to change speakers. The fatigue is still present and the loose/muddy/slow/detached bass just isn't cutting it.
For some reason, I love the idea of an older speaker. I think it's fun to own gear that was once only a dream back when it was new and at a price point that was laughable back in my poor high school, college, and post grad years.
I've decided to look for some older, large Infinity models (separate post) and possibly some ADS L1590's. I have a pair of ADS L400 hooked up in my TV room along with an entry level sub and that ADS top end sparkle is very sweet.
