Looks like the big obstacle here is the room arrangement. That's certainly an elegant shelf system, but I wouldn't want to use it as a desk nor to be face-first against the wall like that. If there were a way to set up a work surface that allows you to look out across the room, you could use a single set of floor speakers, and tighten up the angle a bit so there's no sonic hole between them. A better room arrangement might get to the problem's root, more so than just spending on additional technology.
Need help with my office system
I work out of a 13'x11' home office quite a bit during the day and have an office listening system. Its a budget tube system (Jolida 302b and Totem Arro's fed buy lossless itunes through a Presonus Firebox as a Dac).
I like speakers when I am sitting at work but since I sit at a desk I am probably wasting my systems abilities.
Below is a photo of my workspace. Does anyone have any reccomendations on speaker placement/tricks? Should I just get a small pair of powered monitors and set them up on the 3rd shelves (like genelec 8020a's or 8030a's)?
