The issue is that if you put a speaker near a wall it increases the bass and causes reflection in the mids and highs. The bass can be delt with if the speaker has a adjustable crossover to conture it to the room. I beleve all speakers should do this anyhow but many don't because of cost. The reflection issue is tought to deal with you can use acustical treatments to help. Don't get something to big for the room, made that mistake more than once. Or go with a on wall speaker and a sub to do the bass this works really well they just need to match perfect. Vandersteen vsm1 and a 2wq is a good example. Hope this helps.
