Hi,
I thought it was pathetic. Utterly pathetic. Ever hear real gunfire?
It's perucussive, harsh, really loud. High end speakers don't do any of those things. Most of them round off the edges, sweeten the tone, and most don't handle high energy transients well. I know an engineer guy who built his own speakers. He designed a ruler flat freq response using really nice drivers. Sounded like a car radio with tons of detail, and quite different from any stereo speaker I have ever heard. HT speakers are supposed to have a flat freq response. Most don't, but that's the spec.

Spend some money on controlling room resonances in both rooms. I got a huge improvement from doing that. Dynamic range is crucial, but only after the room can handle it.
