If your saying just by taking a few steps backward, and the center sounds thin, that does not seem to me a problem with bare walls. It should not change that drastically. You did run Audyssey from multiple locations in the seating area, not just the primary seat, at ear level? Audyssey does check for correct polarity, so that should not be it, but I guess you could make sure you have + to + and - to -.
