I have heard the Ovations at a show and really enjoyed them. Are the Encores much different? I have seen comments that the bass can be overdone or even boomy, is this true? I need them 2-3 feet from the wall behind them in a roughly 14x20 room on the long wall. Thanks.
7-8 feet poses no real problems IME and I once had them on the long wall similarly positioned to what you propose in a room very similar in size to yours. I'd agree with Roy, woofers forward. OTOH, I have had them in larger rooms and you do get a fuller soundstage.
