In my setup there isn't room to bring the speakers out that far, but like I said the bass hasn't been an issue for me and I always triple check my mixes with other speakers and headphones. You make a good point though! Ideally I would do that as well.
if too much bass it could be bc of “room gain.” bass increases when speakers are right up close to a wall. can try bringing them out a foot or more.
