When I got my "blue dot" 950 (the version you have), I noticed that it needed longer to get settled in to the system (break in, if you will) than the previous versions (the original spring 2002 and the "red dot") had. You might give it a few days or so (maybe leave it running while you are gone during the day) and see if it opens up any.

Even more important than that is calibration. A few minutes with a $30 Radio Shack sound meter and some test tones (either the 950's internal test tones or the tones from a setup disc like AVIA) can make a huge difference in soundstage.
