- Most speakers from what I've learned, like to be between 2 and 4' from
- the back wall. Less than 2' and the bass can get boomy. I'd pull your
- sofa back another foot and move the speakers forward 1 foot. Moving
- my speakers from flush to 2' from the wall helped them sound better and
- imaging went WAY up.

- Another thing is power amps. Did you use the same power amp in the
- store as you are using at home (or one of similar power and quality?)
