You do not mention how far into the room the speakers are placed.
As mentioned above, positioning the speakers closer to the wall they back up to will allow the room itself to reinforce the bass response. But too close and things start to get muddy-sounding, as all speakers have different room interaction characteristics, so experimentation is your only option.
Heck, your listening position may actually be in a bass node itself - mine was, and I had to rearrange my entire great room (30'x20'x15' vaulted) to get out of the hole. I only found this out after spending big bucks replacing alot of gear, when my dealer measured my room response with a Real Time Analyzer (RTA). Taking full advantage of the room's shape and features in the best configuration made the single-biggest change in sound quality my system has experienced (and it was FREE!).
Also, Room Treatments CAN significantly affect bass response if you can figure out where to place the treatments to even-out the room modes, nodes and lull-points.
Rives.com and MichaelGreenAudio.com (among others) can help educate you on these principles. This is truly the 'black art' of the audiophile biz...and the only way to get the most out of the equipment that you have.
Hope that helps - good luck finding your bass....
