Usher 6371 or 6381? Coffee table blocks woofer?

So I am trying to decide on these two speakers. The problem with the bigger 6381 is that the woofer is lower on the speaker and I am wondering if my coffee table would block some of the sound or disturb the soundstage.

Meanwhile the 6371 has its drivers near the top of the speaker, possibly preventing reflection? I also have a radiator on the right side of my room which might also block the bottom woofer, where as the 6371 has its drivers clearly above the height of the radiator.

Do these things matter to the sound?

I'm a newbie here so I can't tell if you're joking when you say to put the coffee table on vibrapods. I don't know what that is, but I'll Google it.

I cannot move the coffee table though, that is out of the question. I am looking to make the most of these speakers, it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect though.

I don't have the room to bring these out 3-4ft from the wall, I need them as far up against the wall as their stands will allow.

Is that bad for their performance?
