It's only 10 feet by 10 feet "
In a room that size, one problem is that the reflections path lengths are very short. In general the earlier a reflection arrives, the more likely it is to be detrimental to timbre or clarity or both.
IF you have free reign, I suggest a pair of Maggies set up along a diagonal. Their dipole radiation pattern combined with the reflection angles will minimize early reflections relative to more conventional speakers in a more conventional configuration.
Also, square rooms tend to be the worst from a bass mode standpoint, but dipoles have more benign room interaction in the bass region than monopoles.
If the bass is still lumpy, try doing a setup somewhere in between "normal" and "on a diagonal". This will put your two dipole bass sources each at a different distance from nearby room boundaries in the horizontal plane, which is beneficial for smoothing speaker/room interaction in the bass region.
