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?

All speakers work different in different rooms. My sapphires M3’s work very well 32” from the front wall in my room out further the bass is not as good, now I have ASR panels and bass traps in each corner of the front wall along with heavy curtains. I have a well balanced sound, good depth, width suffers due to my size of the room but I have the tweeter 24” from each side wall. The rest is so good, that I can live with that, also never ever have anything between the speakers, if so you not hearing what we work hard to pay for. My amp is on a stand between the speakers and the racks is 16’ away. Put my rack between the speakers once and I was tearing back down to move it 10 minutes later.
