Even in a small room, getting those drivers out at least 32 inches from the front walls and side walls will be a dramatic, almost miraculous effect on the stage depth and width. Transients and micro details (trails) are only possible for that realism your ears crave. And yes, best free tween ever. This alone made the HUGEST difference for my system compared to anything else.
Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound?
Ask my dealer this question and he was stumped. He said it's a good idea but couldn't say why. I see speakers pulled out eight or more feet from the wall in very nice systems.
The drivers are facing forward, and when there are no ports in the back of the speaker so why would it matter?
