Where can Open Baffle speakers be placed


Anxiously, I am currently waiting for the delivery of a NAD M33 integrated amp.
I think I would like to upgrade and pair it with the open baffle Spatial M3 Sapphire.

I'm currently running a pair of KEF LS50's with a pair of REL T/5i subs.
My listening room is small 12' wide 13' long. With the speakers 8" off the wall and the subs 12" off.
I wouldn't be able to place the M3's further than 12" off the wall.
I realize open baffles like space.
Can this be done or should I just stick with the current speaker set-up and consider something else?

Oh boy, I was anticipating this response. I guess I'll have to wait for now.
Thank you all for weighting in.
Now back to considering the Focal or Dali line of speakers for an upgrade. Any thoughts on this? I've got to get to California to listen, Las Vegas as a difficult place for evaluating higher end options.
I have a room that could handle the OB speakers but I would have to take over another room in the house but that could cause major wife issues, she loves me but talk about pushing the envelop of sound :(
