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

Hi, I have a pair of P10s. The owners manual states they need to be at least 51" or 53" (I'd have to look to be sure) from the corners. I don't believe the says anything about the back walls. The the front of mine are approx. 60" from the back wall. The depth of sound stage is incredible and the bass is good. The bass would be better (probably) closer to the walls. It's a trade off for sound stage. For you to put them against the wall IMO would "over do" the bass and not allow these wonderful speakers to image, etc. correctly. It might be worth doing whatever you need to do to move them in and out with your listening times!?
