Focal Aria sounds muffled and far away being run on a denon AVR-X3400H

New to the audio world had a vizio sound bar and wanted more so I sat down and researched and  audioned and liked theFocal Aria 926 but at home it sounds muffled and far away being run on a denon AVR-X3400H. Surrounds are mirage os3 sat surrounds they seem fine, sub is an svs pb 1000
I've tried moving them around the space but nada, do I need more power to them?  I just don't want to go back into this spending money without having a little better knowledge behind the purchase. And a little help plus it's black Friday soon so that will help save a little cash

Make sure you have the Focals connected to the Front speaker bindings on Denon. 

Having said that, the Focals will sing with an amp upgrade to a dedicated 2 channel integrated amp, unless home theater if your cup of tea...

I would recommend something like this French one offered new at 50% off on ebay France now - not affiliated with the seller. 

Amplificateur intégré Atoll IN30

Search for the above name in ebay France (www.Ebay.fr.com) - will ship to the States.

Best luck and welcome to this rewarding hobby - but don't get the upgrade bug and spend and spend without researching and knowing exactly what you want...
