Revel f208, dead center image but everything jumbled up?


I recently got revel f208 from my dealer as an open box. A rep from Harman said that they don’t need any break in period. 
I am using peachtree nova500 for the electronics with oasis 5.2 speaker wire and mostly listen to Tidal through the inbuilt DAC. 
The image is pretty dead center which is great and I like the vocals, it’s lifelike. The bass is pretty good as well as the HF. However, since the image is dead center, I am not feeling the sound stage. It feels like drummer, vocalist, bassists are all jumbled up or in the same straight line. It doesn’t even feel like the sound is coming from the speakers, because everything is in the dead center. Is that normal? I used to have B&W cm9 before this and that image was not dead center however I could feel the sound coming from both the speakers. But for F208, It doesn’t even feel like the sound is coming from the speakers, everything is just kinda jumbled up in the center. I Just love everything else about the speaker except the image or sound stage?

I once owned the F208s' myself I enjoyed them but I also felt like they were missing something.
Anyway fast forward I demoed a pair of speakers not that much more expensive than the 208s'. They were also a smaller profile than the 208s' , but sounded 3 times the size. 
Perhaps it's my room acoustics ECT they just fit the bill for Me better than the F208s'
Happy Listening
