If you could post a pic, it would make things easier.
Either post a link or put something on the Audiogon Virtual Systems or PM me.

Distance between speakers - are the physics what they are?
In now spending so much time in my kitchen it dawned on me that it would be a great space to set up some older components I had in storage. It's great now having music in the kitchen but wish the speaker soundstage could be better. The set up is using a pair of stand-mounted B&W 600 S3, which are "fine" but no doubt there are other similarly sized speakers that could perform better. However. with the wall space I have to work with, distance between the any speakers would be, from tweeter to tweeter, about 3.5 feet.
Is not being able to put more distance between the speakers mean any upgrade would be a waste since the physics would prevent them from ever sounding as good as they should?

Thanks for the comments so far, picture added. The good news is I usually stand directly in front of the system while preparing food, about 10 feet away. So the question is, would investing in "better" speakers be largely a waste because the restrictions on placement would not allow me to really take advantage of the improvements the better speakers could otherwise deliver - like buying a sports car but never being able to drive more than 30 MPH? https://systems.audiogon.com/systems?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=kba_8040+kitchen |
With that limitation on setup, you would probably get better results with speakers that have very wide dispersion pattern. A pair of small Ohm Microwalsh which are largely omnidirectional would fit and might be worth a try. http://www.audioreview.com/product/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/ohm/microwalsh-talls.html |
