Have your Soliloquy dealer move the 5.3s closer to the wall or even better take them home for a demo. They may sound a little better out in the middle of the room, but they may be fine in a more practical, closer to the wall, position. Unless your are going to wedge them into a corner, they should be fine closer to the back wall. I have my pair of 6.3s 12"-18" away from back wall with no problem.
foiled again...
after thinking I had settled on a speaker, the Soliloquy 5.3...it just occured to me that I had been listening to them in a room where they were about 5 feet from the wall.
I've read multiple comments about these speakers needing room to breathe because of the rear ports. I don't really like stand mounted monitors. I think it's too hard to get the sub to integrate right most of the time.
Can anyone recommend another floorstander for under $2000 that is as good as the Soliloquy 5.3? I'm sure I'll get many responses here. I've also been considering the Silverline Sonatina II. I found a great price on some demos.
Anyone know if Vienna acoustics have this positioning problem?
