Virgo II's without AP's placement recommendations?


Hi. I was offered a pair of Virgo II's at a good price, but due to a non-local transaction I can't really audition them. My question is, if I don't have the luxury of using Audio Physic's recommendations of putting the speakers well away from the walls, how will they sound?

Basically, what I really want to know, is if I have to have my speakers close to the front wall (12 inches or so) are the Audio Physics a bad choice or do they sill sound pretty good their, and just better properly placed? Are there any speakers you might recommend that are good when placed near the wall?

I have mine situated so the back of the speakers are about 20" from the front wall and that works reasonably well in my narrowish 12x16 foot room. However the bass is not as linear as it would/could be if I could place them as per AP's recommendations. I think your chances would be better if they don't have to be too close to the side walls (due to the side-firing woofers). If that part of your room is wider than 12 feet, you should be able to get them to work well.
