Hello Bwspeak
This is a very nice system for college. I have the 1037's. You may want to try raising the front of the speakers 5 - 7 degrees so that are slightly up ward and listen and see how you like it.
I could not tell what kind floor you have. My home has raised wood floor so the down firing port causes an atficial bass response that was some what boomy. So by raising the front of the spakers a little, the firing of the port is not directly on the floor but it fires at an angle. When i did that the boomyness went away. Happy experementing and enjoy.
