I notice a major standing wave in certain frequencies in the bass region. My speakers are on my desk and not really far from the wall. But it is safe to say the distance is more than 10 inches. If you watch this Skyfall song,
at the 1:00 mark there is a bass line, and it sounds very very boomy.
How do I reduce this? Is this when I need one of those bass traps or acoustic panels?
I noticed the booming reduced when I lower my head to level with the speakers, but it still is booming. I fashioned a stand out of styrofoam and wrapped it in paper with a book on top of the stand so it is about 4 inches off the desk. I still need 2 extra inches to get it level with my ears in normal listening posture.
Does anyone else have this same problem with the Edifier or any other 2.0 bookshelves? Please advise.

What speaker you're using?
I used R2500 so far no problem with boomy at certain frequency and the port was front firing too. Rear firing port need to be careful on corner too, I saw Dynaudio manual suggest that should place not less than 0.5m to avoid back and sidewall influence. Room size also will introduce the boomy sound.
You can try to position your ear level to the middle of tweeter and woofer of your speaker, and also position it in isosceles triangle.

Mine is the R1900T3. I've tried all the basic positioning like the isosceles triangle, speaker height, tilting towards the ears etc, but no major positive outcome. Mine is actually rear ported not front ported.
I'm just worried that it might be because of my space's effect causing room modes and the bass response is interfering with each other and amplifying that certain frequency.
Mine is not in the corner but actually in the middle of the room. I'm in the living room so the space is quite big. My friend confirmed that the midbass is overpowering the treble.
The picture for my setup is in the post above us, on top of the page.

If it cause by room mode you can hear it anywhere in your living room. Have you try to move your speaker far from wall?
Your table are thin anyway, maybe you can put some foam or coin stacking up as feet to reduce vibration transfer to your table so it won't resonate.

Hope that helps.
Yea I can hear it anywhere in my living room. I tried moving it away from the wall to like 1m, it still is the same. I've fashioned a stand from layered styrofoam and books to lift it up by about 5 1/2 inches. The interference is still there, but imaging is more accurate since it is almost my ear level. I tried EQing it but even when the midbass is reduced, the effect is still there. My table is also isolated from the vibration, only when played loudly the table will vibrate but not because of the speaker vibrating but the actual soundwave volume.
Can anyone else with Edifier's 2.0 monitor setup replicated my problem?
My friend is using the Aego M, but since his bass is mono, he doesn't have this same problem going on.

Nothing can be done
Maybe put some cell foam on the wall behind your speaker see can it work or not.
Was your friend use his speaker in your living room? Room modes doesn't related with mono or stereo bass, as long as it hits the resonance frequency, the whole room will filled up with that frequency.

The H180P with Remote and Mic are engineered for superior acoustic accuracy, balance, and clarity. So you hear details you’ve been missing with other, lesser headphones. And the biggest breakthrough? They’re just RM33.

Any news of S750D.. been quite a long time. Last heard it was cancelled.
Bored of my 530 2.1.. S550 does not have optical input...
0.0.. I browse through so many thread also nv see anything mention on S760. I heard on some forums that S750 was cancelled cause it nv pass DTS. It was also known as S5.1 MK2.

The latest news from EDIFIER, the new S760 already pass the DTS test and now waiting for Dolby Digital lab to test it. EDIFIER will launch the S760 once the new S760 pass bot the test. Manage to test the S760 during my last visit to EDIFIER lab.

If not mistaken the total RMS > 400W, the RMS of the sub >200w.
Pretty much it's huge and sounds damn good!! Really was impressed when I took It out the box and how heavy it was and the good quality it felt... I was amazed at how huge the Passive radiators where and how damn good it competed with ported box systems.. Now the comparison is really a done deal; the system dominates my Z906/Z623
