Well, the MMG's don't have much bass to lose! :-) They do lose some of what they have when you raise them more than 2" above the floor -- mine are raised 8", which is still too low, the center of the drivers should be at ear height and as things now stand the lower frequency sounds come from an angle about half way to the floor.

However, since I have a sub, the lost bass isn't a killer problem. Plus when they're half way into the room I'm very close to them, and I start to hear nearfield bass reinforcement.

Facing sideways, the way I used to have them and may again if the new orientation doesn't work out, the right hand speaker starts to boom. I think it's a cavity resonance from the space to the left of the mantle in the picture.

Alas, I've yet to find a room in which the best location for imaging and clarity was the best location for bass . . .
