That's key - Floor bounce interference manifests itself not only by the distance from midwoofer to ground but also the distance from source to listener. At 6-8 feet, it's around 150Hz.
The thing is, while you could smooth the notch with multiple sound sources, in practice, this is rarely done. The tower has such full bass, almost nobody considers adding subs. They would have to be blended, low-passed at 120Hz or so to be effective in smoothing floor bounce. It really works, but this approach isn't popular with owners of two π towers.
Most people like the way the two π towers sound just the way they are. It is an entry level model, after all, and I suppose if you're willing to consider upgrading to add flanking subs, it makes more sense to upgrade the mains first. I would suggest going with the three π or four π model having uniform directivity before considering an upgrade to multisubs. The two π towers could then be used in a secondary system for office or bedroom.
