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

I'll buy a new system before going back their.

I've moved the speakers a lot, it help, I put them further from the back wall, the bass seam tighter, but if I'm not seating on the middle of the sofa I hear echo.

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?

It seem that the speaker next to the wall play louder, I've test and it's not the equipment.

Thanks

Oups, I forgot to ask the question !

What should I do so that both speakers sound the same with an un-even room like that ?

Thanks,

David

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'.
