Is it Possible??

Is it possible for speakers to sound better when you hear them while sitting in a different room that the speakers are in or when you stand behind them?  If so why does this occur and what can I do to improve my listening experience while sitting in the same room as the audio gear.

I frequently think that my speakers sound great from across the hall from my listening room in my office. It's different of course because there's no "soundstage",  but it still sounds very natural and dynamic, and that imaging/soundstage aspect doesn't matter at those times.

You got a perfect excuse to shop. I mean truly, really.  You want to sit in the sweet spot in front of the speakers for the best of everything a good system can deliver. Get hold of a dealer. Spend some bucks.
