The Node2i or Blusound have their own app you get from the app store for free. It has a lot of services on it you launch from your tablet or phone. 
Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2
I have my Perspective 2 about 20 inches from the back wall it’s a matter of no choice. I don’t find them boomy in the bass and I am not a bass fan. But I do run some DSP to attenuate the lower frequency that might be an option for you. 
Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?)
If you can't do a lot of room treatments like most of us you might consider something like a minidsp and use some room correction software. It can help for less money than room treatments depending on the model. With that low a ceiling it might be... 
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
This guy is completely wrong on his idiotic attempt recommending speaker cables. The effective DF has as much to do with the speaker motor, crossovers and FR than any cable. DF is figured by source, load and wire resistance the least of these is w... 
Good entry level cables
In wall speaker wire  needs to meet NEC standards, you should check to make sure the cables are rated correct. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/inwallrating.htm

This is where you don’t get it. What’s the DF of the amplifier for you’re asking these people? The one I used from above is 105 DF. Why do you forget to add the DF to the cable? The cables aren’t connected to nothing. So here is the real numbers f... 
Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song.
Sell the subwoofer.

I'm not sure this is relevant to your question but it is interesting in how people differ in perception of music and speech. http://deutsch.ucsd.edu/psychology/pages.php?i=201#Technical.php

You think so, how sweet of you to notice. Look through the posts my math isn't wrong and neither is his it's just he's measuring the wrong thing. Not to mention when you consider the impedance and voice coil resistance of the speakers makes his at...

but what we do know is that power cords can and do have a big impact on sound whether it’s negative or positiveSo , this a classic example of begging the question, I answered one with another.We know nothing of the sort, he's assuming the truth of... 
Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed.
It’s best to learn as much as you can about products. In the same issue they review some speakers Volti Razz. The reviewer waxes poetically while JA measures a ridiculously designed speaker whose FR looks like a drawing of the Rocky Mountains. In ... 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
