If you just moved into a new house then you have no clue of how anything should sound in the room you're in. The turntable might sound perfect, but the room won't let you hear it...
I'd try a set of high-quality headphones with the turntable to see how they sound. Then maybe I'd take some test tone measurements in your room to see if there are any major dips or peaks in the room response that may be influincing the type of sound you're hearing. Maybe try the speakers on a different wall to see if the acoustics improve.
It always takes me quite a while to experiment and make incremental improvements whenever I change rooms. Never, ever have I installed a system in a new room and had it sound fantastic on the first try (although I suppose that could happen in a fairy tale or once in a very great long time).
So it's not necessarily your lack of proper turntable setup. There are many other factors to consider. And you haven't provided only a scant few details for us to work with. How can we help you complete the puzzle with so many crucial pieces missing?
Have you had any success with any other sound source(s) (CD, for example?) sounding wonderful in this particular system?
