Are you sure they’re fully broken in yet? How many hours do you have on them?
I hear ya on the lower mids — I think my speakers give a very slight oomph there too, and it does make many other speakers sound a bit neutered, more distant, and less involving by comparison. I really think you’d need to go to the Pulsars or better to improve upon your 17.5s. If I was you my first impulse would be to find a way to add two small subs and see if they fill in that last piece. You could try a pair of SVS SB1000s for about $1000 for 45 days and if they don’t bring you to a whole new level of happiness you can return them risk free. In any event, it’s sure a lot easier than trying to significantly improve upon your excellent Silverlines IMHO.
