amps can make a big difference...but if your speakers weren’t tuned to your liking , then no amp in the world can subjectively improve sound quality for you.

the problem you have with your system is comparable to problems with lesser headphones and high-end gear. the gear will spit plenty of information, but the headphones will be unable to resolve or or translate the music properly.

better to buy new speakers as those are not that good. your other stuff is nice.

I suggest turning down the volume very low, and putting your ear directly over each driver.

bad idea
it's a set of speakers...not a pair of headphones

idk honestly but perhaps you need to use some punctuation anyway maybe the tweeters are blown thiels are not known for lacking treble i had a pair and they were bright bright bright .... was it the 2.2 that came with an eq box do you have that?
