My greatest complaint with the 824s was that I could NEVER get a feel for the bass, even in good rooms. I personally hate those monitors.

First thing first. Bass Trap your accesable corners. Sadly, you have a mirror behind one monitor and a mirror to you one side. This asymetry will make it very weird to monitor at anything other than low volumes. If you could put some kind of surface absorber, like Auralex foam behind both monitors, that would help a little. That Mirrored clothes chest is likely going to create some nasty early reflections.

Good Luck.
