Bad sound quality, could speaker placement be the cause?

[pat182rick]

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out why my audio is not very good when listening to cds, mp3s or my turntable. Here is my setup:

Yamaha RX-V663 receiver
Blu Ray Player and Xbox hooked up with HDMI
Sony Turntable PS-LX300USB hooked up with red/white rca cable
Definitive Technology - 5.1 Flat Panel Theater Speaker Package with 2 added Aiwa Front speakers

When I watch a blu ray, watch tv, or play xbox, the sound is amazing. But when I switch to just music, cd, record or mp3, the sound is flat, lacks punch. I have wood floors, and the front speakers are on the ground with no pads or anything. The 4 surround speakers are on tables. I've thought that maybe I need to add speaker pads to my speakers, or add a rug to my wood floor, but the sound is very good when watching movies, so good sound is possible. Not sure if this is layout, setup or hardware problem. I can post a layout of my room after I post a few more times....

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

i dont think its a wood floor, mine are set on a wood floor. can you take a picture of your setup and the room it is in and maybe someone could help you with it, but yes, placement has a ton to do with sound quality

There may be an acoustic element here, but it also looks like something's changing when you switch from digital audio to analog....?
