Well, that is a small room, all right. Regardless, a "mid-bass deficiency" alone could literally evicerate big works. I have written up the Kubelik/BPO/Dvorak 9, because I think so highly of that performance. It should absoutely be loaded to the gills, and anyone not moved by it should hand in his credentials.
Anyway, it sounds from your description like you somehow must have used a long-distance variant of the "speakers as headphones" gambit in the very large room, since those speakers likely could not really load the giant room, and now some room effects are "interfering" with this strategy, perhaps some mid-bass cancellation? Also, by sitting much closer to the speakers now you may be "enjoying" the typical "up-tilted" frequency response at its finest.
I agree that, one way or another, you need the lower-mid/mid-bass glory. Maybe re-think your DPoLS in light of the "headphones" strategy before you piss money on new pre-packaged speakers. Especially if the present speakers "worked" in the large room, I would not give up on them before I got them as far as they can be gotten, or at least got a clear strategy from effing with them.
BTW, not saying it is BEP, but BEP can absolutely mess up any particular playback frequency at any given time.
