Virgo II's without AP's placement recommendations?

Hi. I was offered a pair of Virgo II's at a good price, but due to a non-local transaction I can't really audition them. My question is, if I don't have the luxury of using Audio Physic's recommendations of putting the speakers well away from the walls, how will they sound?

Basically, what I really want to know, is if I have to have my speakers close to the front wall (12 inches or so) are the Audio Physics a bad choice or do they sill sound pretty good their, and just better properly placed? Are there any speakers you might recommend that are good when placed near the wall?

I posted my opinion before regarding the AP's. Great speakers that can create a really deep, realistic soundstage. If you place them 12" from the rear wall... that's about how deep your soundstage will be.
I don't know what you are paying, but I assume you can get something like a Vandersteen (and others) for much less. You will have a speaker that is at least as good or better tonally and dynamicaly, and be far less finicky to electronics, cables, and placement. AP's are great speakers, but a lot of "work" -in my experience.
