Wrayman,
The Vandersteen owners manual has pretty straight foward speaker positioning directions. Follow them carefully. Speakers need to be located away from rear and side walls a good distance, it takes a little time to find the perfect spot. They should also be used in conjunction with Sound Anchor or Vandersteen bases and tilted to insure the tweeter axis is pointed to your ears.
I hate to say it but it may your room that is the big problem. You may need to consider creating a near field listen position (speakers close to your chair), extensive room treatments to tame the nasties, or relocate your system to another room. Good luck.
