I have model 5 not 5A. I place them 67 inches from the wall behind the speaker and 40 inches from the side walls, both measured from the top front center of the grill.
Mine are only 2 ft from back wall and 22" from one side wall and 5ft from the other. I know this sounds sub-optimal , but they sound great, and the dealer who set them up in the room thought they were one of the better sounding setups he had heard.
Hi, Try running the numbers from the manual and you'll quickly be able to find a few good spots to try in your room. Every room is going to have different nodes... The manual is actually very good about helping you set things up. It will take some time and effort though. Ideally, your dealer should handle this completely. Have you discussed it with them?
