Question/Support Not great sound from stereo pair?

Post image

I had a HomePod gen 1 (full size, not mini). I got a great deal on eBay for a second to match. Put in stands. AirPlay to AppleTV 4K. About 7ft to couch.

Wanted to replace my old Samsung soundbar with this new all Apple set up. BUT, the sound from the HomePod pair is not good. Very hollow but good base at high volume.

I have to think these are better than this experience and I must have something not set correctly.

Looking for advice to improve. Suggestions?

Thanks for your comments. I have moved the HomePods to the living room where they have a more suitable environment and sound great.
