Thanks for the responses!

This is what I have:

--MTM system using 8545's and 9500 tweeter - North Creek's Rhythm unlimited system
--CAL Icon Mk. II CD Player
--Rotel RB980BX Amp
--Rotel Pre-amp
--Transparent Music Link interconnects and bi-wire speaker cables

Any suggestions for improvement?

You guys are definitely right when you say that these speakers let you hear all the diffrences between different components. Just out of curiosity, I plugged in my Panasonic portable into the system, and the sound was much different.

As a side note, I have a small pair of NHT Super Zeros which I have had in this system before, and the sound has always seemed rather forward sounding. Also, plugging my Grados (SR-60s) into the headphone jack of my Rotel pre-amp, the midrange is also forward sounding.

Maybe it is my components?? I'm just having a hard time understanding how the 8545's can sound this bad when speaker systems that use these drivers are constantly praised by the critics as being great sounding.
