As mentioned above, my local dealer has a similar room size and always runs Audio Note speakers on stands tight up to the walls right in the corners, as designed to be used this way. Heard it with SET 2A3, 45, 300B monos and 211 integrated. Was there yesterday listening to the 45s, AN speakers close to walls.
Speaker Recommendations: Corner Placement
Hey Folks:
Interested in your recommendations for a floorstanding speaker that will work well in a large, open living space (25 x 40 x 9) with the speakers flanking the corner of the room. I’d like a broad dispersion pattern so that the sound remains as uniform as possible as you move around the space and at different seating positions. I’m thinking Ohms but am open to ideas.
