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?

Here's a strong second for the Gallo Ref. 3s. Mine are sitting about 8 feet apart and I still get a good center image even when I'm sitting directly in front of either of the speakers. And yes, indeed, they are "fast", transients are very quick.

Thay can be had for $1500 or so right here on Audiogon...
