Wilson Alexia - speaker placement question


I'm looking at this speaker and am trying to figure out if I'll have poor bass/midrange as I can only keep the speakers 20-23 inches from the front wall.  My room is 16 w by 21 l with 9 ft ceilings.   This is a full range speaker and I'm concerned its bass capabilities may interact poorly with any room-related sound modes.  Appreciate any  comments/guidance.

Your choices are pretty simple. Room treatment and EQ. I use a combination of the two. I use the EQ built into Roon for the EQ and GIK acoustics panels and traps for the room treatment.

You might also want to look at the room mode calculator, it will help you see where you may have issues and what room locations to avoid.

Based on the first 4 or so room modes, I'd encourage you to start with floor to ceiling soffit traps from GIK. First the wall behind the speakers, then behind the listener.
