Not many of us have a perfect room and for those moving home frequently, learning how to optimize the acoustic effect is part of the audio game...

Try to fix the usual suspects such as glass reflection of windows and balconies, sidewalls reflections, placement of speakers are almost unavoidable in a listening/living room.

Your observation that the music sounds good at very low volume tend to suggest that the reflections at sides and/or back walls may be one of the problems. Try speakers placement and damping first reflection walls may be the first thing to look into.
