I'm not familiar with your speakers so I can't speak to whether they are the weak link as others have suggested. One thing I have proven to myself empirically is that the room acoustics can easily overwhelm even the finest equipment, and your electronics (with which I am familiar) are no slouches.

I recently moved and my setup is now in a small room that is nearly square - abysmal acoustics, abysmal results. For the first time I decided to try a setup along the diagonal of the room, which ameliorates many of the first reflection and node problems, and has been used by Merlin, deHavilland, and other manufacturers at shows to overcome hotel room acoustics. The results were great, much better than I anticipated. If you have a few hours, give it a try.

Also, my system's performance used to vary by time of day, sounding great late at night - I found that ensuring that the components receive clean power a big step up and the performance is now consistent throughout the day. I use ExactPower products, but of course there are many choices.
