Just curious, how far are your speakers from the wall behind them? I'm not familiar with your speakers and their size, so this suggestion might be worthless, but try this: Two feet from the side walls (NO toe-in)and move your listening chair up so you have an equilateral triangle. You can do 7 feet (maybe even 7.50) Listen to what you've got now. If you have your babies far enough away from the rear wall, you may be surprised. And inches, DO, make a difference. I have my monitors set up this way. My wall is 10.5 feet. Sure a larger room would be wonderful. Whattayagonna do? peace, warren
