Honestly its all about the acoustics. a bad room will ruin the best speakers made. I have moved more times than I care to recall and had the same speakers for 30 plus years and they sounded different every time I moved. Keep working at it, it takes time but the payoff is huge. I would look at rew and a minidsp module. My axioms with the XMC-1 with Dirac and a few wall treatments sound better than they have a right too.
