Increasing bass on floor standing speakers

If you can, put speakers on the short wall, not the long wall. Start there. Find listening position with the best overall response. Tweak from there.

If the aforementioned suggestions do not yield the results needed, add a subwoofer. I recently ran into a similar issue. Found a little subwoofer at the thrift store and added it. Big improvement. Found a bigger better subwoofer on c.l. for a song. Daisy chained it together and it sounds much better. $60 and a couple sets of interconnects that were boxed up and problem resolved. Good luck!

Does tilting the speakers help improves bass?

Do you have another music source to try, aside from the TT?

It could be the TT/cartridge setup.

Also, what cartridge?

I asume that you meant Visaton and if so see if anything looks similar here in order to let us know what general type of speaker you have.

These look the closest however there is a slit in the bottom at the front. https://impactaudio.co.uk/collections/visaton-loudspeaker-kits-accessories/products/visaton-vib-2000...
I have the ortofon 2m red cartridge (new). 
I also have cd player (nad) and a computer attached. 
I'll try moving the speakers but it's not a practical solution unfortunately and I'll do a test with tilting them. The bass is also light with the cd player.
