The farther from the wall the worse and uneven the bass response.
You can’t circumvent the Laws of Physics!

Why?

So no wall is better, or closer to A wall is better?
Away from the wall causes uneven bass responses, BUT WHERE?

Not in my seated position... Gatling gun the bass?.. LOL

Even bass is not an issue unless your ears are everywhere.
The whole house pays the price for pooly place bass enclosures...
If it's even,  it's EVERYWHERE. Good yes, great NO....

Above 100hz is very directional...
There is a lot of sound between 100 and 300 hz, So I direct it, NOT spread it...
Then kill it, or loose it
Distortion goes through the roof....in the bass region with "BASS everywhere"

Just an OK way to do thing, at best....

What do you listen to? HT, music?
Are you more of a stereo person?
CDs, Streaming, Vinyl, SOURCE?
Room size, limitations (partner), 

A little more information and folks will be able to help a lot better.

You can really enjoy yourself, with a few low $$$$ things.. 
Most of the the things that cost nothing are things you can do now.

LIKE, speaker placement, your setting position, source? You need to kinda zero in on one thing, get it right, then move on. You can always tune everything in... but one at a time.

Cable routing, get it in your head now, clean is good, neat is good, cable ties are not good, lifting your cables is.. I use M or W blocks, dirt cheap.

Protect your investment. I use voltage maintainers/cleaners. Don't spend a lot of money, just spend smart money..2-300.00 MAX..

I do not suggest absorbing the output of the rear-firing drivers because they are there to make a spectrally-correct contribution to the reverberant field. Absorption will remove the short wavelengths (high frequencies) but have progressively less effect as the wavelengths get longer (as the frequencies become lower). So absorption can end up ruining the spectral balance of that reflected energy, which correspondingly degrades the timbre of the system.

So, no treatment needed?.. I understand.. There are a lot of speakers that the wrong room treatment, just kills the dynamics of a rather weird speaker to begin with.. Not bad, actually good, but different. Almost the Bose idea, really, weird treatment needed, but not typical.

I've been tinkering with dipoles for a lot of years, they are TOUGH...
