Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall

Optimal setup for OHM and Larsen is bound to be different. Larsen is clearly designed to go right up against the wall for best results, which is a very useful thing for many. OHM Walsh can go close maybe just a couple feet in most cases, but not flush, better in this regard than 100% omnis, like original OHM Walsh model F, or modern mbl for example.

I find in most cases I tend to like my Walsh 5S3 and 100s both out at least two feet, probably more from the wall. What works best will vary by room acoustics and user goals.

Small Larsen's might be perfect for my wife's 12X12, vaulted ceiling, acoustic nightmare sunroom.

It's my wife's room, so my options in there are limited.

I have various speakers I have used in there that I can get to work to various degree but none to-date hit the bulls-eye perfectly.

OHM 100S3s are over kill and bass resonances are hard to get under control. I can't move these out into the room to help tame bass and improve soundstage and imaging in there like I can in other rooms.

Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII monitors have similar issues but to a lesser extent.

I use my small Triangle Titus XS on low stands 1" off the floor currently and find this to be a pretty good fit, but something a bit larger might still be nice if bass levels can be managed with speakers flush against the wall.

Not a big deal for me but I might have to look into that at some point.

Mapman you might look at the High Emotion Audio if space is a concern. The tweeter is very fast and neutral, as well as nearly omni-directional. You can place them very close to the rear wall- 1.5 to 2 feet works fine.

Map, the Larsen Model 4 might work okay in that room, just don't shoe-horn them too much into the corners, but they are fairly tolerant of that to some degree. The little guys are only about 30" tall, and 9" wide by about 10.5" deep. Easy to position, play a bit with listening distance, the usual stuff. Give them about 50 wpc and reasonable current delivery and you should be good to go.

These come in at $1995/pair, which is really pretty decent for a product brought in from Sweden. Mine are in a cherry veneer, and while maybe not quite up to say Totem or Paradigm Studio levels, fit and finish are very good, better than Ohm in most cases.

Certainly Map, I could also recommend Ohm's Micro Walsh Tall, maybe in an omni configuration that John does special for those, and it is actually cheaper too. But you already know about the MWT's obviously....

PRice on Larsen's are not bad for what they might do I would say, especially for a European import.

MWTs are another option I have considered at present if I do something someday. VEry small footprint and probably the right size. But do I really need 4 pair of OHMs? I also like some variety and new toys. %^]

The Triangles are fitting the bill there for now. I don't get to listen in there very often, but it is nice to in there on a nice, sunny day.
