Quad ESL 63 in smallish room ?


Squezzing the 63's between 2 wall being 11' 6" apart is probably not adequate.
Even thought they are at a respectable 5 feet from the back wall and that the listening position is a nice 8 feet away, I still think they could do much better in a larger room ,.. what do you think ? thanks Pierre

Thanks all !
Bmwhaus, maybe you could explain about the nature of the standing wave element you mention, and its relationship to sound quality.
No tiles and hight ceiling (12') in my room, but anything else goes against getting the Quads to deliver what they really can. There's furnitures here and there in close proximity and if the speakers where at a distance of 2 feet from the side wall, the distance between the 2 panels will be about short 4 feet.
There in storage right now, but my feeling goes towards the minimum requirements proposed by Bmwhaus for optimal result and althought I still could sit at 13 feet from the speakers, there still would be a low profile sofa and table in between the distance separating us.
