New audio filter works great, but degrading audio with my other VST filters?

[jsolomonster]

I currently have several audio filters enabled for my livestreams/recordings to give me a better broadcast quality sound. The chain I have looks like this presently:

-TDR VOS Slick EQ
-TDR VOS Nova
-TDR Kotelnikov
-Expander (to assist with background noise removal)

Hopefully I have those in the correct order! Anyway, I installed several Reaper plugins and was told the "reafir_standalone" one is fantastic as far as building a noise profile and eliminating background noise, which I've since added to the bottom of the chain and it did an amazing job totally filtering out my air conditioner. However, the overall audio quality doesn't sound as good. That sound I was getting from the EQ seems to be missing now. I've tried listing the Reaper plugin first and the EQ second or third in the chain as well and it doesn't really help. I've also tried disabling the expander and that hasn't helped. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here.

Any suggestions? Attaching current log file, though I haven't streamed with this setup yet, only tried a few test recordings and have since put my VST plugins back in their original order and disabled the reaper one pending feedback here.

To follow up on this as I've been playing around with it, when I turn off all of my filters with the lone exception of the Reaper "reafir_standalone" one for noise cancellation, again, it filters my AC out wonderfully, but I'm still having the issue where it muddies my audio too much for my liking. Any insight into what I may be doing wrong would be helpful.
