Yes, I know it, but all corners in my room occupied with furniture,
and there is no any suitable rearrangement for it without throwing away
one of the bookcases...

It seemes that standing waves are tied mostly with my room's acoustics and
furniture. There's one point in room where standing waves can be heared,
and position of this point is not depend of sub's placement.

Is it music from animated cartoons?

Pink Floyd is my favorite group, too! All discs before Roger Waters's
departure.

Well, I told aboud prices in big stores like "Classic" or "Purple Legion".
But you can easily find CD for $20 Moreover, this CD would be without plastic
packet and hologram strip. With the "Nice Price" label. ;-) It may be even
second-hand.
                          With best regards, Vladimir
