I see the roots of your problem: MIT cables and the MF X10D. You see, you have carefully assembled your system to suit the B&W CDM1 NT but alas, what your B&W apparently like are the things that dont work as well with Sonus fabers.I got MIT Terminator 2 biwire with MI330 interconnects at the time I got my first Sonus faber too. Sounded extremely fluffy and rounded, not to mention dull, compressed, slow and veiled. Sonus fabers tend to dislike networked cables like MIT and Transparent in my experience. The only networked cables that allegedly work is Fadel Art but I havent personally tried those. (To be fair, those MIT cables worked well with my previous speakers like Signet, ProAc etc and they are known to be liked by B&W speakers; and there are some instances that only Transparent cables work like in most Wilson speaker based systems.).
Dump that MF X10D. It is a dynamic compressor in disguise. It is ok for entry level systems but your system is now beyond entry level - it went over the barrier the moment you got the CDM 1NT and it remains beyond entry level with the Concertino Homes. Now let's see if your electronics can catch up with your speakers. :)
