Were you using M22s?
A recent blind test by Allan resulted in the M22s wall mounted producing 9db more response under 100hz. when placed 2 3/8" from the wall. The only reason I would place them that far back would be to get more bass response. Also because that is where the entrance to the room is, i don't want people knocking into the M22s at ANY cost.

EDIT: i just read your sig, you have M60s which are known to need some "breathing" room, i think the M22s would prove to be a different case. Although I do not own them yet I am just speculating.
