Ditto what Jack and Rick said. Thanks for the input here, Joel--most of the time, I think, people don't spend enough time figuring out proper placement of his/her speakers and it may be the room that's the culprit of bad sound. The best part is that placement tweaking is free and can have the most profound effect on a system. I added some corner triangles to the top corners of my room, and those, too, had a significant impact on bass.
