I think your fears of side mounted woofers are misplaced. The reflection issues are generally with tweeters and mids. Bass traps and diffusers are simple to apply for goos bass. The biggest challenge posed is with the ET's as already stated they need plenty of space to sound good. And with such they do sound good. The battle, for me, would be between the Audes and The VR's. Used Audes can go for $900. VR's are priced higher, somewhat by hype. Soliloquay is out of business and also can be had cheaply.
VR 2's, audes blues or eminent tecnology lft viii
I started a thread a few weeks back asking for help with a bright room and speaker suggestions.
It is limited on how much I can treat the room. It is large and tiled. There area rugs and a lot of things on the walls but I really can't do much as far as treating the walls etc.
Everyone has a different thought speaker wise and I have narrowed it down to VonSweakert VR 2s audes blues and eminent technology lft viiis as these three have been mentioned multiple times.
Pros cons thoughts? which will overcome the muddiness the most?
Thanks
Bill
