Nightmare

I am sleep deprived!

Will be moving in to a newly bought house mid next year and I will not be "allowed" to keep the Hifi in the Living room anymore. Living room is so awkwardly shaped, it is not hifi-worthy anyway.

However, I will have a room of 8'X16' dedicated for Music. Now I am seriously worried about the width being only 8'. I currently use ML Aerius i's and they are kept well away from the side walls (2 feet away) and at least 6 feet apart from each other. Will I have any chance at all, getting the placement right in such a narrow room?

Alternatively, I am considering parting with (sadly though) my electrostatics and exploring the Nirvana in Horn/SET camp, since I have heard that horns can be safely placed right next to the side walls. Did listen to Lowther DX-4s driven by an Atma S-30. Sounded pretty good, but something was missing.

Please SMS (Save my Soul) !!!

Thanks,
amal

A few options. First, since Martin Logans have such a narrow horizonotal dispersion, you can probably get pretty close to side walls if you are toeing in. Maybe not right up against it, but maybe a foot off. With a 16' room length, you can keep them well out from the rear wall. Might work out well.

Second, you can try setting up along the long wall. Might work.
