The M40.2 is much more room friendlier that the M40.1. I would not recommend the M40.1 unless one has plenty of room to move them out in the room. The M40.2 will work in more rooms that most people realize.
I was told the same thing by Vu ,from Deja Vu Audio also. At least 2 feet out from front wall ( Wall behind the speakers). My M40.2 are a little less than 2 feet out from the front wall and I have no issues. Room treatment can also help with limited listening rooms.
dsper , Do you have a local Harbeth dealer you can work with to help you decide which model you might prefer? You might want to go and listen to the line up first.
