Speakers "To close to the side walls


I have Paradigm 100 v2 and I only have 4" from side walls.
Are there speakers that will perform better close to the side walls?

I have them slightly toed now. I have EAD PRE-Pro and Amp.
I wonder are the Paradigms the weak link here?
I am considering getting a new TV which can be mounted on
a rack, which will eliminate 2 sidew racks and save 44".

Thanks for the feedback
dipoles like Magnepans, electrostats, etc. they have a figure-8 radiation pattern and are very fogiving of side wall placement unlike conventional loudspeakers
Assuming you are still talking about your Paradigm's, and assuming that you have them toed only slightly in, and assuming that you have not treated the 1st reflection points, yes it could make a substantial difference. HOWEVER, if you had your speakers set up properly before (but for the side wall closeness) your speakers will now be too close together and your stereo image will narrow substantially and the sound could become congested. If you've set them up correctly the first time then you will have to move your listening position much closer to the speakers (about 20 inches).
I've been reading a lot from this site and others and I'm learning....My wall is 10' wide. I am about 9 feet from the speakers. If I change the speakers they will be
about 7.5 to 8' apart. It would not be a problem to get closer. I probably did not set these "right" I just made
them fit. On my pre-pro I did set the distance of all
speakers from my listening position. I guess now I wonder
which would be best-treated walls for reflections and leave them close to the wall and toed or moving them 15" of the side walls.

Much thanks
