I still say it's silly to try to analyze a person's room over the Internet. BUT, since I'm in a good mood, here is something for you to consider:
You have a case of "acoustically coupled spaces". This much is certain. I am going to guess that the space which is through the doorway is fairly live - more live than the listening room. Or, it may be acting as a resonator. In either of these situations, the second space is behaving as a secondary sound source which is audible.
It's easy to think of a doorway as a sound absorber, but that's not always the case. The second space may be storing energy (via reverberation/reflections) and then re-introducing it into your listening room. This will make the sound louder on that side of the room. This often happens when the second space is a typically live room such as a kitchen or hard-surfaced entry-way.
