Revel F228BE

I'm very interested in the Revel F228Be's, but haven't had a chance to listen to them yet (four hours' driving to get to/from nearest dealer). But I have quite constrained placement options in my room, so if I were to purchase them, I don't think I could *optimize* positioning of these speakers. So, I have a question for F228Be owners: what do you think is the *minimum* distance from the back wall in order to do *at least moderate* justice to these speakers? Minimum distance from side walls? My understanding is that these do not have the compensation switches that the F208 has(?)

Hope my questions make sense. Thanks for any information!

@lnitm  Many thanks for the positioning information —extremely helpful, and good to know that 16” to front wall is workable.   I finally managed to audition them today and was able to experiment a little with positioning, and also felt they sounded very good at 16” from back wall.  

@steve59. Thanks very much for the thoughts on room correction as well as alternatives.  I’ll have to look at which of those are possible auditions (nothing is closer than 3-4 hours for me).
