I think these suggestions will be far more of an improvement than a new CD player. Definitely get a new CD player but get stands and a sub first. Try and move your speakers about 6 to 8 feet apart if your can and angle them in toward your listening position. You can then adjust from there on the speaker angle. You will be amazed what a little tweaking can do.
Wow, you guys are the greatest.

I have repositioned the speakers, almost 6 feet apart. My listening distance is about 12-15 feet away. Speakers still on the window ledge, cone rises to about 2 feet n 8 inches. Speakers are about 1 feet infront of the window. Playing hotel costes x, which I just bought - clear vocal sounds, crisp I would say....but on the lower freq, rather dissapointing. Bass sounds ok on some songs but I would expect a better outcome. It's just not coming out or how shall I put it....humming...or...non distinguished bass. Can't recognise if it's from bass guitar or others..

I've got this wooden blinder for my (5 by 7) window and would that help or should I change to fabric? The window ledge is my fav spot for my set n will try not to locate to another area. Unless I do not have an option - than means to the bedroom.....oh...no....
