One thing you say is that you now feel you have been transported to the recording venue. This is the correct goal to achieve: you are there, not they are in your listening room.
As the late Peter Walker of Quad said: somewhere near the plane of your speakers, the walls of your listening room should appear to vanish and be replaced by the acoustic of the recording venue.
Yeah, the change has been that transformative. Watching films is now an incredible experience as well because like music, the speakers now take you on set. Just crazy!
