Paradigm Persona 3F Owners


I am interested to know a few placement answers from Persona 3F owners. What worked best for you?

1) Distance between speakers
2) Distance to side wall
3) Room size

I know these speakers and like them a lot. I will do a home demo however before I do this I want to see what others have done to get the best sound.

I know 1 person has mentioned that the best sound is obtained when the speakers are spaced rather far apart. I cannot do that in my room.

Funny you should post on this thread. I just looked at this thread yesterday circling back on room size for the 3F.

I am building out 2 systems at the same time and have not got to the office speakers yet, but the 3F and TAD ME1 are now the top contenders for the office. I have KEF LS50s which are not going anywhere. I have been discussing with some other A'gon posters on PM about the speakers I am considering and that they also own. After these discussions and advice I am thinking I should scale down my speaker ambitions for the small room. The 3F and the TAD ME1 are really more appropriate for my room. 
 
I have also contacted https://accuratesound.ca/ to help me tame the office speaker bass. I will use them even if I get the TAD ME1. I will run their solution with ROON.

Not sure about amps yet. I need to get 2 of them and I have 3 choices in mind. I actually put a offer in on a cheap throw away amp today to hold me until I buy the amps I am considering. I will get the amps before the speakers. Doing it differently this time.
Even though I will do a home demo I want to know if I am going to be able to use the speaker to it's fullest ability. In my room I am limited to the spacing so I many not be able to discern this info.
Awesome, thanks for that feedback.

Interesting statement about the toe-in. Some here have said not to do too much toe-in since it makes the speakers sound bright . However, I see Paradigm and you recommending both toe-in. I will go with your advice on this. It will also make it possible to put the speakers closer to the side wall.
