Hi. I'm searching for new loudspeakers for my living room, which measures (roughly) 20' x 30'. Speakers will be on a short wall, about 8' apart. There is a window behind each speaker. At most, I can bring them about 1.5' into the room, that is, away from the rear wall (and about 2' or so in from the side walls).
I'm a little concerned with rear-firing ports, given my placement restrictions. Any concerns with putting Axioms (or any rear-ported speaker, for that matter) within a foot or so of a rear wall? Will it muddy things up?
As for models: I'm looking at the M3, M22, and M40... quite a quandary. Like the idea of the M22, but I already have (too-tall) stands and don't want to buy another pair; M3s would work with existing stands, but might be a tad small for the room; M40... ahhh... just right. Right?
The current application is 2-ch only, driven using a Rotel 50w integrated amp. Possible HT application in the future.
Appreciate any advice owners can offer (Ian, too; Alan is already off the hook for time served...
)
Thanks, and good listening!!
David
