Socks in the rear ports should be enough. But first try moving the speakers away from the wall. About 3 feet should be sufficient (obviously not too wife-friendly, but it will at least give you an idea of what is possible). If they still sound bad 3 feet away from the wall, when they are ahead of the wardrobe and no longer have much bass reinforcement from the rear wall, then you need to upgrade....
