no early reflections and no standing waves, i love it

the only problem is the first floor reflecton, that dips the frequency-response round about 15 db at 110 hz. the dip is very narrow.

i put some acustic stone wool on the floor but that didn`t work.

do you have any idea or design suggestions to prevent floor reflections ?

thank you.

Probably a room mode. I had a similar situation - I use a small laptop stand on the side of the room, and I have nothing between the monitors and the listening position.

I had a 15db dip at 65 hz I thought I would never get rid of. I finally resolved it by moving my subwoofer toward the listening position by 1 ft, leaving my speakers where they were. It worked perfectly, once discovered.

At that frequency (110hz), my inclination would be to move the listening position or your speaker position to get rid of the low frequency dip.
