help thiel 2.4 placement???


i am having some problems placing in my room a pair of thiel 2.4, acording to thiel they should be far away from the walls, they recomend 3 ft at least from the back walls and 5 ft from the side walls.
i did this and i am not getting any bass, if i put them closer (1 ft) from the back wall i get much better bass but thiel does not recomend this.
right now i have them 2.5 ft from the back wall, 6 ft apart from each other, and the listening position is 8 ft away. sound is ok but i know it should be better.
does any body have experience placing thiels, please help
thanks in advance.

That should help tremendously.

I have my 2.4's a little farther apart then Redkiwi suggests (maybe one foot more) but I also have them toe'd in quite a lot. (I tend to favor toe in because I like focus and prefer a small, focused soundstage to one that's bigger but more diffuse.) However, Redkiwi's advice is brilliant (as ususally) and I'm going to do some experiementing.
