I moved now Kef sound bad

Hi I'm somewhat new to hifi.

I've moved and it seem that my listening room is now too big. Previously my speakers Kef XQ-5 sound great with good imaging and bass presence. My listening room was 11x14x8, now it is 21x 19 with 17 seeling. I'm using a Nad 90 watt receiver. I guess that I'm not feeding the speakers enought power!

A ny body ahad the same problem. How can I fixe it,??

thanks

>thanks for all your imput, but is their a way to compensate for having a speaker 44'' from the side wall and the other from the kitchen cooking island?

An equalizer with a shelving high-pass filter will help some. Using a receiver or processor with room correction like Audyssey will help more.

Speakers with more directivity (acoustically small dipoles or wave guides) will suffer much less - I've run one Orion 2' from a side wall with the other 15'.
