whatz up with hi-end speakers near walls?


How many recent (disturbing) posts have there been regarding placing speakers(very good ones) inches away from walls? I realise there are living confinements,spouses,etc...but you to "create" this yourself in order to get audiophile quality sound...even in my small apt...I have monitors 4 ft into the room...if you dont have or want to sacrifice the room...no need to drop 1k on SPendors...go down to radioshack...and contrary to what others have posted...no speaker is designed to be almost flush with walls...none that I would like to own anyways...good sound is more so about placement than equipment...great sound is both....

I'm fed up watching the soundstage. It's too demanding. I'd rather relax and listen. Last night I moved the speakers alot closer to the back wall to unfocus the image and attain the blur that's closer to the real thing. The darn thing is still imaging! Believe it or not, it still takes good speakers to get a convincing blur.
