Sounds more like a source/preamp issue based on your descriptions.
Hard to say without knowing more about your system.
Had Vandys for nearly 20 years and can't say I experienced that issue with them. First I had 2Ci's and then 3A Sigs.

Thanks, Sondek.
The KT 88 is an LM 216 integrated with Gold Lions and has had Tung Sol 12ax7s in it. I just rolled them to Mullards to see if that changes anything. The fact that you didn't have issues with your Vandys is good. I have been so frustrated that I am debating selling one or the other of the integrated or the speakers or maybe just started by with a whole new system
Before you possibly chuck the baby out with the bathwater I wish you'd consider trying the JJ E83CC/12AX7 frame grid tube in your integrated.
The link below is to info about this tube as offered by The Tube Depot. I am not advocating for TD. Just trying to provide specific info since JJ offers several different versions of the 12AX7, and this is the only frame grid version of the bunch.
I've found this tube to be far more revealing and detailed than any of the Russian stuff, and this may be just the ticket for airing out the mid-range on complex classical stuff.
