Hello guys,

first of all thanks for all your great posts, I learned a lot from this but my problem does not seem to be covered from one of the previous posts (I used the search engine a lot).

To get a better impression of my room/studio I made a virtual panorama. You can click and move your mouse to look around. It is flash based so its not that fast on older machines.

Here is my room/studio:

http://www.orchidproductions.de/Pano...io/Studio.html

I´m having this monitor setup for a very long time and I am very pleased with it except for one thing: the low frequencies are traped under my desk (where the displays are). Most people use a lot of bass traps to reduce low frequencies and I´m having something like a natural bass trap. I can work very well with this setup but I wish I would have more low frequencies at my listening position. When I´m under my desk it sounds like I´m sitting in a subwoofer or something like that, very strange...
I wish there could be a way to get some of that low frequencies from under my desk to my listening position or that at least someone could tell me why the low frequencies are trapped under my desk.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank's in advance,

best regards from germany,

David
