Using the tags didn't help much, Armen! hope it looks better now.
Moke, they're on 24" stands, which are spiked, in carpet. The spikes don't seem to sit flush against the floor under the carpet, probably because this is a shitty apartment. It's not an issue of tight bass or not ... it's just not really present.
With some listening while I move around the room, I find that the bass is best almost against the back wall (if I sit back in one of those chairs) or if I move out to the wall opposite the sliding glass door. I should get an SPL meter, generate some sine waves and noise and play around.
