So the problem isn't so much "boomy one-note bass" No it's definately one-note resonance- They make foam speaker/monitor isolators . Now in general, I think these things are over-hyped and over-priced, and I'll bet in most situations there's no audible difference (in a blind test). But if you have a vibration problem, they might be helpful. You can try making your own (hopefully you can find some black foam), and you can try putting some foam rubber under the video monitor too. I made my own! Raising them off the oak makes a massive difference! The only problem is I only had green foam from a gardening kneeling pad. [/quote] My chair is like 5-10 cm too low for this!

These speakers were hand-me-downs, same with the amp! I might upgrade, but monitors are damn expensive. Thank you all for your suggestions, They were all very good!
