Hi looks like both of us are fighting the evil forces of foo boxes. Where did you listen to this Analysis set up, with Sanders? Though one of the speaker looks pretty close to the wall behind. Also I prefer them straight instead of toed in.
The best Jazz by far was on the Tune Audio Anima horns. They are Greek made, but have a dealer down under. 32k Euro though, but worth listening to. I am talking more of the brass/drum jazz

Previously, I owned a pair of Analysis Epsilon, built in 1996 or so. At that time, the brand was distributed and introduced in France and Belgium by YBA. They performed unforgettable Analysis + YBA demos in late nineties.
I had the opportunity to acquire a pair of Omikron 12 years ago.
CORRECTION:
- from 1999 until 2014: I owned the Omikron
- 2014 ==> now: Epsilon (year buid: 2010)
Bigger models are too big for my 28m² room.
About the stock model of Epsilon you did not liked, I compared them with the Omega: they sounded very similar, with less bass for the Epsilon of course. As far as tone is concerned, the Epsilon are for me little Omegas, with less power in the bass. But I may have missed some qualities of the Omega, as the dealer had under-powered them a litlle, IMHO...
But I am curious about those modified filters. The UK importer is essentially a retailer; I hope his mod is serious. I will contact Tazos Hartzis, owner of Analysis Inc. about this.
I strongly suspect these Epsilon would have been ways better than the Omikron on those Naim ultra high end amplifiers, as the Epsilon, to my ears, seems to be far better than the little Omikron, in absolute terms.

Seems intriguing, but the filters of my Epsilon are embedded: no way to switch easily and compare against other filters.The UK importer is an audiophile, he has been working away at his to improve the sound over many years. It is the only speaker he listens to, and treats it as his personal speaker. The US distributor has 3 crossovers at different prices - Mundorf, Jupiter and
I personnally would not. But it's a matter of taste.Personally I would not buy an Epsilon, I would go for a Martin Logan hybrid like the Montis instead.
Some of the best systems I've heard, by a country mile, have been heavily modded
