Equipment setup

I have a reasonably sized listening room (8 1/2 feet by 12) but my stereo is in a nook by the windows which is 5 feet wide. I have Elac FS-247 speakers powered by Mcintosh MC501 monoblocks. The monoblocks are currently on the floor in front of the speakers. The problem I am trying to solve is that the speakers do not fill up the room like they did at the dealers. I feel this may have to do with my set up. I tried pulling the speakers out and pushing the monoblocks into the nook but this made it sound worse. The speakers are about 1 foot from the windows behind them, 6 inches from a side wall and 6 inches from the equipment rack which holds my turntable, cd player and preamp. Any suggestions as to what I can do?
Thanks in advance,
Saad

Is it TOO LATE to convince the neighbors you are DEAF?

In years past, I got a lot of traction using that technique.

Nobody wants to mess 'with the deaf guy' who enjoys his music and may occasionally like it a little loud.

If it's not too late, give that a try and get back to us.
