Speakers for difficult placement.


I am looking for a pair of new speakers. My biggest problem, though, is placement options. They cannot be placed more than 15 inches from the back wall and the separation distance is around 9-10 feet. My listening chair is also about 10 feet from each speaker. there is a door than opens into the right speaker so I would need something with a small footprint. So basically I need a speaker that sounds good separated (good center fill) and can set close to a wall without giving away too much in depth of field. My electronics are Sunfire and I have more than enough power. I also will be using the speakers with a Vandersteen 2Wq sub. I would love Vandersteen speakers but they are configured wrong anatomically (need smaller footprint). I have recently read some reviews of the PSB Synchrony's and was wondering if these might fit my bill. Any thoughts anyone?

Uhm, you guys realize those Gallos have a built-in subwoofer, right? Speakers with an attached sub don't usually fit the request of the OP, espcially since he already has a sub.
Spendor SA/1 just received glowing reviews in Hi Fi+ and it was stated they work superbly against a wall. They are a 2 way sealed box that makes them easier to successfully integrate with your subwoofer. Nice looking speaker too!
The Gallos do not have a built-in subwoofer, they have the ability to hook up an additional amp to power the second voice coil, but it is not needed in many applications and the Gallos hit low just fine without them imho. The Gallo's should work very well in that room with a very small footprint.
