I got my studio speakers; right on time!

Well my M-Audio BX5-A Deluxe near-field studio monitors came on Friday. I built desktop stands to raise them up to the "sweet" spot and had them set up by that same evening. Dang what a difference in the clarity of the sound. I immediately began to hear problems in my mixes that were not evident before. So yeah, so far I love them. Of course they are the first good-quality studio monitors I've ever owned so I don't have much to compare them to.

And after reading on in the Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio book by Mike Senior, I've come to realize I have a number of studio no-no's working against me. For example,  my studio monitor placement is too close to the wall which will cause too much bass reflection, and I'm positioned too close to the corner which will skew the left to right stereo mix since I'll have more reflection on the left than on the right.  AND, my room is very square which is not desirable for studio mixing. The good news is we're just renting and hope to move within a year, so I'll be more educated when selecting my next studio space.
