The solution may be as simple as pulling the file cabinet & bookshelves off the wall a bit. Often the low end in a room is skewed by having a big equipment rack pushed up against a wall. When you pull it a foot or two off the wall, the problem largely (but not necessarily completely) disappears. You may be experiencing a similar problem, though not knowing more about the cabinet and shelves limits the value of prediction. Give it a try. Also, is your front desk open on the bottom? Completely enclosed consoles/desks can cause trouble too.

I moved the File cabinet out of the room and removed the bookshelves (wall mounted open shelves) off the wall and there's no real difference....now the desk does have a solid front...and I'll look at that this weekend
The panels (2'x4') are presently mounted on stands that hold them centered between the floor and ceiling and approximately 4" from the wall and they do not completely cover the windows...3/4 would be a good estimate with 5" between the back of the panel and the window
The windows are wood - single pane casement windows with an exteior aluminum sliding window/screen
The walls are standard 2x4 with plywood/brick on the exterior walls (top and right end) and drywall on the interior walls (bottom and left end)
Hope this helps
edit - For the record I don't hear this phnomenon at all when mixing or when listening to instruments in solo...only the test tones and especially 120 - 129 hz
