Stickman,
I have 3.7's in a room that is 15.5' x 19.' The speakers are along the short wall, about 6' out from the front wall. Tweeters to the inside. What is surprising to me is that the 3.7's integrate with the room much better than the 1.6's did. I'm actually considering removing some of my room treatments. Because of the size of the speakers, I can't get more than 48" from inside edge to inside edge. My guess is that 15' is likely to be close to the minimum width for the 3.7's. I have no experience with the 20.1's
