How close are you to the bass speaker compared with the mid-range/HF units?

It looks to me as if the HF units are intended to be close on the desk, with
the bass unit further away, beneath the desk. That would make a substantial
difference to the relative sound levels.

But if it is next to the wall or in a corner, you may be hearing
increased LF response because of quarter-space or 1/8th-
space loading.
