I think it is a fair question. You have a square room which, if I am reading your post correctly, is even more acoustically challeneged beyond those room dimensions. Not every speaker will work in every room.
If you can pull them 3 feet from the front wall, you will probably be OK. You will still need to work on proper placement, and look into room treatments and or/room EQ to help with whatever other issues you are dealing with.
