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.

Thiels are not known for their bass. I'd pick up a quality subwoofer; 10-12 inches should do it.
BAT VK-300SE integrated amp (300wpc @ 4 ohms) and a B&W ASW 650 subwoofer. The 2.4SE employs a 10 inch woofer which is fine but won’t give you the stomp of a powered 12 inch subwoofer.
The Thiel 7.2s, however, are a different story...
For what they have, Thiels have quality bass -they just don't have a lot of it. They do, however, blend very well with subwoofer bass.
