I can't stress using the rear wall (for rear-ported stand mounts mostly) to augment bass response. I too have read this very statement in several articles but never really rolled up my sleeves and worked at optimal placement.
As I said, we read about speaker placement, toe-in, etc... But I can truly say when listening in my "sweet spot", I get sub-40Hz Bass Response out of my little Epos Epic 2 Book Shelves.
Just try moving your speakers around while listening to a track with Bass...there are again a lot of articles on this...just stating it YET AGAIN to drill it home as a fellow newcomer to this hobby. Speaker placement really has made such an impact I was able to ditch my 10" subwoofer.
Here are specs for my speakers, claiming lowest of 48Hz:

Best of Luck! Write back if this helps anyone get better Bass response!!
