You're right about calibration, but we have no idea how hard your driving them unless you calibrate and tell us the offsets. The offsets will give us an idea of how hard your room is to drive. And a calibrated level will tell if your asking too much from the speaker. You also may be cranking things louder to compensate for a poorly calibrated setup. Maybe your center is low and your cranking hard to get the vocals up, but over driving the mains.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
