If you are getting a bunch of hyped low end it is because of how your set up in the room and how it is treated. Heck even finding the sweet spot in the room can do a lot. Generally it is best to face the short wall to run the speakers down the longest wall in the room. You would then start by sitting 38% of the room length. Then move the mix forward or back a few inches to find the best response.
See the following for mix spot and layout of treatment.
