Excellent suggestion.

Identification of all relevant factors, including music sources, is important. It would allow some folks here with 3.7i Maggies to cross check what he's hearing on their own systems. Not to get too much into the weeds, it would also be helpful knowing the format and pressing of those music sources as well as front end components (CD player, turntable & cartridge, etc.). IOW, anything and everything in the audio "chain" provides useful info on what might've changed after the first two months of break-in to degrade the sound.

Troubleshooting long distance requires an industrial grade crystal ball (mine is hazy). The degradation of sound could just as easily originate from his amplifier, pre-amp, music source or perhaps something in power distribution chain between components (less likely, but possible). For instance, if he utilizes tubes anywhere in the chain, those should be rolled and rechecked.

I'm not suggesting that a failing component has to be the culprit, but unless something has gone wrong with his new speakers; they should be sounding better, not worse. My 2 cents (adjusted for increased capital gains).

Cheers,
AuPh
