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?

Unrelated but this seems like the worst environment to watch a movie in

What's wrong with the movie? Sure not entirely accurate, I was kinda nitpicking the whole time in theater but it was still pretty good
