Perhaps you need more time to adjust to real high fidelity sound.
I used to love listening to live 5 piece jazz combos playing trad and dixie.
The I'd go home and listen to my setup and look for the cues in the live performances that grabbed me.
It certainly helped to lay down what real should sound like.
Few people have really conxentrated on what things should sound like.
People complain about pianos being too bright in the highs, That's what they sound like in real life.
To use an analogy, some think that all sonic scenery should look like a lush Swiss mountain meadow on a bright sunny day. It's not like that in overcast conditions.
This idea that just because it sounds good, it's hi-fi is a furphy.
Hi-fi means great sounds great, good sounds good and rotten sounds rotten.
