Quoting myself now: I just put the monitors onto my new stands (Quik Lok BS300, they're shitty but suffice) and holy crap, these sound so different now. A very nice surprise I must admit.
I'm already noticing a lot of bad stuff from my old mixes that I didn't even know were there I'm happy to know that it wasn't entirely my bad skills that made my mixes suck, it was also due to dampening etc. caused by bad monitor placement.
