Have you tried turning them upside down? I have a pair of NHT SuperOnes pretty much in a nearfield setup in a hard surfaced room and having the woofs at my ear level really works wonders. I fire 'em straight ahead, too, and get excellent imaging. (I use CustomHouse Cable Barracudas, which seem to be the smoothest I've tried, though I haven't messed with too many.) Since the 602s are a good bit bigger, maybe inversion would change the bass , but it doesn't cost a whole heck of a lot to try.
I recently grabbed a cheap used Pioneer DVD player and was really surprised at how smooth and easygoing it is for CD playback. The perceived detail may be less, the bass may be a touch looser, but I haven't cared a hoot. The 1996 Music Hall player I had been using sounds thin and harsh in comparison.
