Bass in a bad space

Hi All, 

I have a second system in my painting studio.  It's about 1000 sq ft and all hard surfaces, concrete floors.

I have a pair of Tannoy XT 6F, Rotel A12, Vincent Pho 701 and Marantz CD6006. The bass is boomy and a bit flabby in the space.  I have placed fabric in the lower bass ports which has helped slightly.  The speakers are on Gaia III's.  

I've also tried placing carpet in front of the speakers.  Can't tell if that helps.  Not a remarkable change anyways.  So, I'm just looking for a bit more separation in this terrible listening space.  It's my second space and not meant for concentrated listening, but a bit better would be nice. 

Any thoughts? Thanks

Thanks all.  I will look into it. Bob, creative thinking.  Perhaps ever just drop cloths will do the trick.  That will be my first move.  

Because I am moving around at all times in the studio (I'm not an easel painter), adjusting the room to a specific listening location would be overkill.

Thanks all. I have been testing moving some canvases and also cloth on the floor.  It's helping.  I might just test the space.  Thanks for the input.
