Subwoofer boom is too much for me...

mbmi.....Your ’subwoofers are only good for one thing and one thing Only’ shows a great deal of, well...

Are you getting a sense that the us and them scenario is a bit played?

Subwoofers can be extremely sound quality enhancing. On of the most notable thinks is to extend the sound stage. But proper integration take effort and knowledge. Just indiscriminately fiddling with the volume and crossovers or randomly moving around the room is unlikely to do the job. 
 

I am attaching an outstanding video where professionals discuss sub woofers with the theoretical foundation for sound in a room. Applicable for full range speakers, and subwoofers in a two channel or home theater situation.

I may have missed it in the video but where did they say that bass management for the LFE channel is different than managing bass for two channel stereo?

They recommend 4 subs, how many do you have? How are they placed?

Glad to see you are studying up on the topic though.

I think we (Agon posters) should start the new year on a higher note (😉). So often , answers to an OP’s question are used simply as a vehicle for expressing all that we think we know about a topic without addressing the most obvious and easiest things that should be part of the dialogue with the OP. Only a relatively small percentage of the respondents have asked of the OP, if only in an indirect way, the obvious questions/suggestions: “Have you tried lowering the output level of your sub?”, “If so, what was the result?”, Have you tried lowering the XOVER frequency?”, “If so, what was the result?”. So, OP, what say you?
