@tomic601 Very evocative vibe on the beachfront you got there!  I'm hanging on headphones listening to appropriate tunes while reading this. Great read.  
bookshelf speakers on the floor
You could try decoupling them from the floor with something like Nobsound springs. This will clean up the bass and open up the sound for a more spacious soundstage and focused imaging. Putting them directly on the floor accentuates the bass effect...
