Yeah, you need nice bass traps. Something with some air behind them. Realtraps and GIK make some good ones. Also, 4" thick Owens Corning 703 works well. Before you do that experiment more with monitor placement, the height of the speakers (try to angle them down as you raise them), distance from walls and listening position. Calculations will help provide you with a nice starting point but remember to use your ears as the final judge. Move everything everywhere until it sounds best to you. My room sounds best with me in the center and the monitors really close to the side walls. Go figure. They're also placed kinda high and angled down. Probably helps to avoid console reflections.
