I am not familiar with your electronics, but you certainly could improve upon your speaker cable and interconnect to get more clarity. Also, I am very familiar with the Vandersteens, which are wonderful speakers, with lots of presence. However, you MUST get them off those wooden blocks. It's hard to tell if you are using the Sound Anchor stands from your picture, but those should also be considered indispensible. Heavy stands, spiked directly to the floor will give you a tremendous improvement. The height of the speaker relative to your listening position is very important. The blocks not only defeat the sturdiness of the stands, but they also raise the speaker too high off the floor.
Enjoy!
