So I have a pair of these as the main speakers of my home theater system. I really love them in that role, but when I try to listen to music... The sound just isn't involving at all, bass lacks force, sort of sounds hollow I think. Instrument placement also sounds sort of wrong in depth. Source is PS3 and amplifier is Onkyo TX-SR608. I know that these are not top-notch for music, not at all. I live in a flat, so the walls could reflect some, but I don't find the room very echoing. Most of the problme seems to be in the bass department, I was thinking if the reflex ports caused it, but there's plenty on distance to the walls and I also tried blocking the ports, no noticeable change.
Now I'm considering something like Denon PMA-1510AE + Denon DCD-1510AE or something similarly priced from Marantz maybe. These are supposedly pretty tight equipment already, but are the speakers a huge bottleneck? Of course I will hear it with my own ears, but if it's hopeless then it's just a useless inconvenience for me and the audio store. Any opinions?
