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.

place them where you ears tell you they sound best. you might want to start at 6" and move them out from the wall in 2" increments until you find the best place. my 2.3's are about a foot from the wall.

i think it is more important to have ample distance between the listener and the speaker than the distance between the speaker and the wall.
