Speakers Distance from Wall

Looking for floor standing speaker recommendations. Due to the room constraints (fireplace in left corner, patio door in right corner), speakers will be placed appx 4 feet from each side wall and the rear wall, and will have 9 feet between them (though they could be brought closer to each other if it improved the sound. So - what speakers can you recommend that do not need to be situated closer than 4 feet to the side and rear wall? I currently use Adcom equipment -- 5500 Amp; GFP 750 Pre Amp. This is two speaker set up, not surround. I can go up to 3k and am comfortable buying used from reputable source. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the subject.

You might want to consider not using the same distance from the wall behind the speakers and the walls to the side of the speakers.

I would also offer for consideration; not choosing speakers for amplifiers, etc., instead choose amplifiers, etc. for speakers. You've taken the very wise step of considering your room first when choosing speakers, I'd suggest you consider going in that direction. Don't let your existing gear exclude other speaker options. You can always sell your existing gear and get what might be more appropriate gear for particular speakers. This is Audiogon after all.:-)
BTW, Thiels could work in that room too.
