Speakers for difficult placement.

I am looking for a pair of new speakers. My biggest problem, though, is placement options. They cannot be placed more than 15 inches from the back wall and the separation distance is around 9-10 feet. My listening chair is also about 10 feet from each speaker. there is a door than opens into the right speaker so I would need something with a small footprint. So basically I need a speaker that sounds good separated (good center fill) and can set close to a wall without giving away too much in depth of field. My electronics are Sunfire and I have more than enough power. I also will be using the speakers with a Vandersteen 2Wq sub. I would love Vandersteen speakers but they are configured wrong anatomically (need smaller footprint). I have recently read some reviews of the PSB Synchrony's and was wondering if these might fit my bill. Any thoughts anyone?

Those Gallo 3 sig's are a superior speaker all around, IMO. I installed a pair for a client who was replacing some original Vandy 2c's with some 2ce Sig's, then on to these finally. My impression was that they offered not only stronger dynamics, the Gallo's did, but they offered a much faster sound, while a more open and less colored sound than the original 2c's.
While they're not as completely transparent as say a pair of Wilson's, they are pretty darn good overall, and better than any Vandersteen IMO. (and I've sold and dealt with most of the speaker offerings out there over the years)
And, yes, they have a small narrow footprint, and slimmer build. Worth a look/listen, IMO.
Might be worth looking into
