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.
