Yes they would, if only because in the current location you'll get some nasty reflections of the glass. If some of the lower frequencies sound "muddied" or "garbled" that's why...though if you listen to a lot of electronic or heavy rock you may well need a subwoofer.

I don't know if the difference between a DVD and CD player will be the issue in this rig. I'm more inclined to think that the difference will be in the modernity of the DACs (Digital to Analog Converters) used in the player. There's been a lot of advancement the technology in this particular area within the last few years. I suspect that a new player of any stripe will give you greater clarity and presence...and fortunately it won't have to be a megabuck unit for you to enjoy the difference.
