@expresstrain That’s good info. When folks talk about space from the wall they measure from the front of the speaker. So if you pull them out a smidge or so you should have 20”-24” if I’m understanding you correctly.    Will the shelf you use hav...

Everything I’ve read about the Dentons and the Diamond 225 is that they require space from the wall to perform as reviewed.    FWIW, I had a pair of Diamond 220s in my kitchen, up against a wall, and they sounded fine but kinda dull and grainy.  ...
