Jmaldonado:
1) Mine are 1 meter from the front wall, a bit less than recommended. Without the rear tweeter I don't believe those few inches are critical, with the rear tweeter is may be more so. After several hours of more listening and some octave band pink noise tests, the -1.5 dB ASP setting seems optimal. I am going to try moving the speakers out some to compare and retest. The extra front wall space could prove beneficial. I'm still impressed by the sence of space. It seems to enhance detail/separation of instruments.
2) Yes, there is a large rear projection HDTV between the speakers. The toe-in helps keep the screen reflection down, but a blanket over the screen may be best for critical listening. The room is irregular. Left side wall is about 1.5m, and the right side is open. The left speaker balance is set -1dB to compensate. (Plaster walls/wood studs/w-t-w carpet over wood joist.) Component rack is low and to the left side, the amp is on the floor between the speakers.
