Default Interesting audio change

I have a set of Bryston Mini-T speakers powered by an Anthem PVA-7 amp with a Pioneer SC-65 acting as a pre-amp.

I had used the SC-65 to tune my speakers to the room using Pioneers onboard software. I thought the speakers sounded great and were amazingly natural, good broad soundstage, and clarity was beautiful.

We were getting new carpet installed a couple of days ago, so I had to move my speakers up onto the hearth of the fireplace (about 2 1/2 to 3 feet up) directly behind where I had them sitting on the floor. While waiting on the flooring company I decided to listen to some music.

To my absolute amazement, the Mini-Ts sounded 100 times better. Richer, broader sound stage, clarity was probably 2 times better. I am shocked at the improved audio by this move.

Why would moving my speakers up and back provide such a vast improvement in sound quality??
