Vandersteen Quatro

(((I don't see how you are going to make full range speakers like Quatros work)))
Easy
The Full range Vandersteen Quatro with built in room compensation is designed to work with most any room.
We have successfully installed and tuned many in small rooms.
Even 4 inches out from the front wall.

They might be more user friendly and tunable for different rooms. But to think they will perform optimally in a small room is just wishful thinking. And you might have gotten them to sound fairly good 4 inches from the wall, but I would hardly call that successful. If by success you mean that they sound pretty good, granted. If you mean they sound as good as they would well away from any room boundaries, I think that's a tall one.

Is it just me, or are the people opening these long dead threads looking to push Vandersteen speakers? The people pulling the threads out of retirement are either posting about Vandersteen speakers, reviving threads about Vandersteen speakers, or both!

((If you mean they sound as good as they would well away from any room boundaries, I think that's a tall one.))
Of course not any full range speaker will optimise's and sound best out from the wall to preference.
Some folks still want performance and have fashion police spouses to deal with.
Making the system perform without being a science project or look like an octopus with blue antennas eyeballing ya back is the goal.
One pair of Quatros was four inches out from the front wall I could barely get my adjustment tool in the back without tilting forward. At first listen it sounded heavy like any good full range speaker would against the wall.
After each speaker was properly measured, adjusted,and tuned we played Cream Live at Royal Albert hall the speakers flat out disappeared with a huge sound stage, deep solid bass and no hangover. system was a Tube Aesthetix Janus pre and a ARC 110 tube amp I promise you It looked cool and sounded amazing.
