Currently penciling out a new dual use set up using vintage components. Sold all my old gear when the remodel started.

I never rose to the level of true "audiophile" but did own a pair of bi-amplified Altec A7s for about 10 years. Shockingly vivid listening experience both indoors and out.
Things I would explore if your system was in my listening space:
-Experiment with stacking the Heresys on top of the Cornwall so that the HF horns are on-axis and time-aligned. This *should* greatly improve HF detail and soundstage imaging.
-Room treatment starting with bass traps in upper room corners. This *should* greatly improve LF clarity and impact by reducing LF nodes and flutter. I would follow this with wall diffusion/absorption to reduce direct reflections and mid flutter. The goal is to eliminate room reflections that detract from the original recordings. We don't want a dead room, we want a great listening room.
If done carefully, the music will sound lovely in every part of the room vs one sweet spot. It is a process but one worthy to my ears by retaining more of what the original artists, engineers, and producers intended. Some don't like this and prefer a very live room with washy reverberant sound like the Roxy Hollywood. Once I realized what great music rooms sound like, I can never go back.
Very best,
