OP. What constitutes not a large distance from the wall? Specifically, what are the dimensions of the room length and width wise? For absolute clarity - what is the distance from the front wall - location of your speakers to the back wall - situation of your listening chair? All high resolution speakers' performance will be impacted by placement, so it helps to be clear about the measurements we are dealing with.
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?
