BEst way to get optimal bass is to experiment with different speaker positions, toe in/out, height above floor, listening position relative to speakers, etc.
In general, proximity to walls and especially corner will tend to increase bass levels, distance from same to decrease them.
Subtle changes in location/position/orientation can have a major impact. Aiming tweeters directly at listening spot can help tilt the tonal balance away from the bass.
Loosely/partially obstructing the port (yes, a loosely rolled up sock can work quite well) will generally reduce output in teh lowest octave, where boominess and resulting "one note" type bass is highly impacted.
All these things are easily reversable/changed as needed compared to more extreme options, like changing gear, so twiddle with all of these as much as possible and see what works best first before changing anything. Unconventional placements, like straddling corners rather than along a single wall, and orientations to help disperse the sound more evenly can often help.
