What are the dimensions of your room? I had 2ce's in a room that was about 12x13 with standard 8' ceilings. I thought they sounded good until I moved them into my living room which was much larger and had a vaulted ceiling. Completely different experience with the speaker really opening up in the larger room.
Where are the speakers positioned in your room? I found they needed to be a minimum of 1/3 of the way into the room if not even more. They excel when you give them room to breath. Playing with room placement is the lowest hanging fruit there is. It's free and can make a bigger impact than many component upgrades.
Your front end can make a huge different but if your speakers are slammed up against the front wall or in a tiny room even the best electronics won't make them sound good.
