I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!

Hello all.
To start here's my system:  Harbeth Compact 7es-3 speakers with DIY 10" subs. JL Audio CR-1 crossover. Rotel RB 981 power amp for the subs. Ayre KX5mp pre amp. SMC Audio DNA1 Gold power amp. Cardas reference neutral interconnects. Kimber 8Tc speaker cables. Oppo BD105 player. 

The system sounds great but it does not move me. I want the music to touch touch my soul. I have been through many different speakers in the past 4 years but I like the Harbeths the most. I feel bored when I'm listening. I'm not sure what to do other than spend more money. Any help?
Thanks in advance.

"This is probably heresy. But my advice is to go see a live band. Go have a few drinks, dance, and get away from your gear."

That's pretty good advice no matter what the problem happens to be!

In the last 4 years I have tried over a dozen nice speakers. I liked the Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 the most I think. I sold them because my audiophile cousin said they sounded like crap.

Honashagen,

i mean this sincerely with with no malice. After everything you’ve said and then added that you sold the speaker you liked most because your “audiophile cousin said they sounded like crap,” I can honestly come to only two alternative conclusions: (i) the help you need is not related to any audio equipment: or (ii) you’re a troll - and you do not seem to be the latter.
