If you're never taken the time to voice speaker and sitting placement in your room you should.

Recordings have a lot to do with it as well. As your system improves and becomes more revealing you'll find most pop recordings are horrible and no matter what you do you cant fix what was done in the studio. 

If you get a nasty ping when you clap your hands then you need to work on your room first.

Did your speakers come with grill covers? Are they in place? If your speakers making your ears bleed, try taping a hanky over your tweeters and report back.
