Speaker placement in a room with the best performance if it is close to a wall?

I'm looking at the Wilson SabrinaX, Magico A5, and the Focal Sopra N2, for purchase.  I know some speakers are VERY fussy on where they are placed, but I'm not able to put them a large distance from the wall, out into the room.  Does anyone have experience with placement issues for these 3 speakers?  I know tuning speaker position is important but sometimes ideal placement isn't always possible.  Which speaker is the LEAST fussy?

My Room is 15 X 25 feet and my listening seat is about 10' from the speakers with approximately 8 feet apart.  I would love to put the speakers within a foot of the front wall.  

 

Thanks for all your comments everybody.

Wow !!  Thats great info and quite frankly, after comparing the A3 and the A5 in a recent demo, I love this speaker.  The A5 has a much better midrange and tons of tight bass.  Also the soundstage made the speakers disappear, and the offaxis sound was great as well.  I will reach out to Peter Mackay and also get his advise.

Thank you so much for the info.
