Although we've never met I think I know your twin brother, Juan and you know what they say: "If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal. Sorry. Bad pun. But seriously, I wouldn't worry about this set up until you try it. I agree with Newbee about panel speakers. My Acoustats are very close to the side walls with no problems at all. No sense losing sleep over a move that's a year away.
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.
