Update from this end.
So I went ahead and turned my desk.
At my sitting position, without the sub at all, with zero room correction, speaker cutoff 70hz, the sound is just absolutely dramatically better (and bass too!) I still hear the issue with vocals a bit
But I also accidentally created an absolutely fantastic listening spot. Basically between the speakers, just behind where the rug ends.
The bass is unbelievable from 6" speakers. I can roll my chair back and just get absolutely outstanding sound.
All that said, should I still try and add some kind of diffusion to the back of the monitor panel?
