Can Piega P10's Be Placed Up Against The Wall?


Hello-
I have a large, difficult room (20x22x20) with no options for speaker placement. The media wall also serves as a walk-way to another room, so pulling them out is not an option. I've heard the P10's have good bass & I need a speaker that can pressurize a room. Amplification is Classe CA-401. Can I get away with putting the Piega P10's up against the wall?
Thanks

Most any quality speaker will NOT perform well against a wall. Might as well go the "Bose" route if this is your only option. I suggest a different room for you listening pleasure.

I do not know of any speaker that does better against the rear wall. Sure you can place them there, but why spend that kind of money for killer speakers if you're starting off behind the eightball? IMHO...warren :-)
I agree with the two previous posts; a corollary might be that the better the speaker, the better the soundstage, imaging and depth you can get out of it by placing it away from boundaries. And since they are designed to be away from walls, the bass from the P10s would probably be overwhelming when close to a wall.
There are a few speakers designed for wall or corner placement. Klipschhorns come to mine, but are not my cup of tea even though I have an SET amp. But, after years of speakers that go way out in the room I now own the Audio Note AN E speakers. I have the 8k dollar version, sorry I forget all the numbes and I think they have all new numbers now. They reall sound best in the corners but sound very good up against the rear wall. I have reviewed these speaks on and Audio Asylum and I think here as well.
I have a pair of NHT3.3 these were designed to be against the front wall. I have them set with 6 inches between the wall and back of speaker.I considered getting a pair of P10 about a year ago. I emailed the MFG. and if I remember they said 9 inches would be a minimum.Call the importer or email the MFG
