RE: Speakers in Corners Help

The problem is not just the "no-no" corner/shelf placement. The room is also cube-shaped, another "acoustic no-no". In addition, your head is right up against the back wall where all types of reflections and standing waves will be most audible. It's a veritable "no-no" utopia.

And those little "bass traps" can't absorb enough sub-100 hz bass to do your room much good. Effective wide-spectrum bass traps are usually quite large. Those dinky ones you have might create some upper-frequency diffraction and absorb a bit of mid/upper bass, but that's about it.

I would go for some electronic EQ. Shelving down the bass output might help a lot. And try hanging some absorptive treatments on the wall behind your head in order to quiet down those nearby reflections. Try all of the above, but don't expect stellar sound in your situation.
