Doesnt sound like a problem where you have to make any drastic changes. Using horns for some time, what is apparent in my system is that it requires quite precise placement especially if you are demanding and have experienced things that few people have and know exactly what you want. And I think the weaknesses in my system exacerbate this.

Ive struggled with finding a good balance in my room so I started taking notes with measurements on location. Ive always had either a rich, dense, focused sound but somewhat compressed smallish presentation versus a drier, boring sound but large, immersive, open presentation. It took me quite a long time to figure out what effect speaker placement had in the context of sound- moving speakers close together then far apart and then seeing what type of effect the sound had moving them further away from the wall- only I didnt realize I had to literally move the horns away from the back wall to the middle of my room to find the balance I could live with. And that is with room treatments using DIY wooden QRDs. I cant really entertain anyone in my "living" room but it is what it is if I want the sound that I want.
