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?

I would second the recommendation of the Tact. If you like the speakers then keep them, two feet shoud be plenty for most speakers and you don't want to be falling over them. The Tact is the only sure way to make your speakers work in your current room and deal with any problems that might arrive in the future.
The Beauty of the Tact is that it does more than just fix the frequency range it also fixes all reflection and time domain problems, which will do a lot to fix the soundstage destruction mentioned earlier due to the monster TV
