You might be hard-pressed to find a speaker that performs at its best that close to the wall. You might consider looking for a transmission line design from Spendor, Fried, or Carolina Audio. I think these are supposed to behave better near walls than other designs. You're right about the 10Ts. They need all the space they can get.
Clear upgrade from 10T's?
Here's my story....
My new home set up requires that my Ariel 10T's be fairly close to the wall (12-18 in.) so, though I really have enjoyed them, I'm not getting the best sound.
My question: What should I audition that,is a clear upgrade to the Ariels, and performs at its best near the wall?
I have Bryston 7ST monos driving the 10T's, a Cinepro 3KSE driving the center and surrounds and a Proceed AVP2 pre/pro.
Thanks for any guidance and advice.
