Why I feel more bass when I stand next to my monitors?. If I go to "my listening point" 2 meters from the wall it sounds better, more balanced I think. If I walk around the room I listen totally different. It tends to be more bassy even boomy. Is this a signal that I need more traps??. I haven´t treated neither front or back walls yet.

What you think? Thnx TS
Nice looking room, I'd place the desk more in the center of the room so you get a triangle in distance between the speakers and you, identical length. Maybe you can place a trap behind your monitors or place them on a stand with Auralex MoPAD's under them. Try this
Thanks, it was diy project. I`m so proud about the results. I`ve noticed that my desk wasn`t centered. I thought I took a picture of it but don´t where it is. >Maybe you can place a trap behind your monitors or place them on a stand with Auralex MoPAD's under them< I`ll go with the trap or something like auralex wedgies that I can find here in my country. Thanks Alfonso
Having more bass near corners or walls is natural. When the listening position sounds good, don't do anything.
