@ronkent  Didn't you lose any bass with the Gaia footers under your 3.7s ?

Richer sound is a very good thing for 3.7s as they can sometimes sound lean.

Paired with the BHK 300 they must sound fantastic.

I will definitely upgrade to monoblocks at some point to get the best out of them.

it has been a few years since i added the GAIA footers,   but i recall that the sound was a little richer and yet a bit more detailed.   i put them on the outriggers.

In case anyone is interested,

bmorill listed a pair of CS 7 speakers on Audiogon yesterday.

Have you considered a tube buffer or a tube disc player ?

I had the last solid state Carver CD player design , granted it was from the 80's and it sounded digital .  It was replaced with Carvers last CD player that uses 2 tubes in the output and I love it , when I read about it it seemed that for years many considered it their reference player .  My point is that using a tube buffer or finding a tube based CD player would most likely solve your disc brightness .

You might also consider upgrading the components on your crossovers , they made a lot of improvements since 2006 .  

I'm probably going to the crossover upgrade on my 3.7s next year, it is really worth it if you plan on keeping them for many more years.
