If your bass level is rising closer to the front well then in your case its not a bad thing right? If its the modal pressure that is boosting the response, then the peaks can be fixed with minimum phase EQ to smooth them out. As long as you don't setup 25% from the front wall you should be ok.
But with 50 cm of treatment on the entire wall you are still getting peaks in the first and second Length modes? Is the room made out of concrete or a dense material? Is it the correct flow resistivity?

Compared to the current setup, it allows to sit 22 cm further from the center. If it works well, then I can get more adapted monitors.
Otherwise, there is not much to do for improving this room I'm afraid.
The issue is if you need to drive the modes, your subs have to be able to increase the level (for example if they are in a null) and if your subs (K+H 0300) aren't up to it they can and will distort. Not all subs are created the same. That is why with 4 of them is recommended and they don't have to work as hard. If you are not careful you could drive the K+H 0300 pass the point they are designed to work optimally.
