Yes, unless he's a midget contortionist, I'd say speaker placement and positioning is suboptimal.
Completely of topic but if I'm not mistaking you have ath m50 headphones, how are they studio wise? i am thinking of getting a pair for producing/casual listening.
Congrats for your new speakers and i hope you'll enjoy them even more in the future..
Judging from your photos i can say that your desk is not high enough..
Are the tweeters at the same height with your ears when you are sitting?
If not you must find a way to adjust the height of the speakers so that the tweeter in each is at ear level when sitting..

I also own the Rockit 5's, I find the mopads were a necessary upgrade and well worth the $$. They would also raise the speaker up a couple more inches.
I know that they are huge but when you listen to your music through them you will forget how much space they aquire,trust me on this one..
O.k the sweet spot is quite wide but play around with the HF switch..
And get a pair of Mopads for the vibrations..
This is a gain control switch and not a volume control(different things) and you won't have to further adjust it after you've done with your ''experiments''..
im not getting much help on my thread so i guess ill come here..sorry superzero but i have $200 to spend and have no idea how to wire these.
i like bass. not soo much that it drowns it all out.

Hmmm.... Never heard of them, I gotta check them out. But I'm a little low on funds now but I will check them out.
I will try messing w/ the HF switch on the weekend. Thanks for mentioning the Mopads as well. I'm not sure if I need those as the vibrations don't seem to bother me and I'm leary about putting them up any higher. I sit really low w/ like ear to the midwoofer when lounging. What do the Mopads do to the sound? I suppose I could aim them down somehow...
The issue w/ the lack of volume exists because I have a Little Dot MkIII connected to the same sound card (which hasn't been turned on all week BTW.) I could use it as a preout, but I'm not sure if the bass shaking fired up tubes is a good idea, haha!
Yeah you should try to mess with the HF and maybe you 'll like the sound better..
Give the MKKIII a try and see if it suits your setup,at least you will have your volume control through it..
The Mopads absorb the vibrations and they will make the bass slam a bit more refined and controlled..
Thy have an angle so your speakers will aim down if you like to position them that way..
Anyway, here's a pic of my setup...
^^To be completely fair they were being heard @ Guitar Center and I noticed one of the midwoofers had been pushed in.
It was a less than ideal setup. I'm sure I'd be fine w/ the 5's if I had gotten those. But I don't care much for odd numbers except for 3.
...also the "other pair" of speakers I listen to regularly is Pardigm Studio 20's. It's not a fair fight hehe.
