Maybe the speakers are just too big for the room, as you suggest. But are you able to use acoustic room treatments? If so, it might be worth experimenting a bit. It sounds as though bass traps in the corners might give you a big improvement.

- Are the speakers on a suspended wooden floor?

- How near the corners are they?

- How far from the back wall are they?

- Is your sitting position very close to the rear wall?

- How reflective is your room (ie. sparsely furnished, laminate floor, larger areas of bare tiles / glass)?

The above are all things that can eff up the sound, especially if they are combined.
