Try removing the granite slabs from under the amps.Sound silly? May not help, but costs nothing to try. I'm not familiar with your amps, but my (tube) amps are very sensitive to what they sit on. A pair of (expensive) Polycrystal amp stands literally sucked all the life out of my system. Ditto with a pair of Silent Running Audio amp stands. Home-made sand boxes? Yup, same thing. Moral of the story: massy, dense "stands" under these particular amps was not the ticket to happiness. And the effect I speak of here was not minor or subtle. The amps currently sit on solid maple boards (cost $16 each at the local fancy wood store) with brass cones between the board and carpet. Best sound of anything I've tried so far. The boards aren't audiophile approved, but then, I'm not an audiophile. :-)
