Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?

I have recently purchased a mic and I’m running REW to test my room response. These are the resulting charts:

I hear nice tight bass when I play music. I hear a big improvement over my previous speakers. The mid range and treble sound great and again the bass sounds articulate and tight. I would think this would be boomy and muddled. Unfortunately, I did not have the ability to test my previous speakers. The room is treated with GIK panels, but I have no bass traps in the corners due to the spouse approval factor. Am I a horrible listener that can’t hear this, or am I missing something else?

I use REW and take responses from 4 different points in a 5 ft spread , sometimes just moving the-speakers a few inches can make for  better imaging ,and first off 

the speakers need to be exactly the same distance from the wall behind them and try to get the same toe in ,this alone can take hours after remeasuring after each adjustment.
