    Those Quads are really close to the wall, I've never had a pair because I can't get them into the room in my house. How do they work there?

    They are further from the back wall than it looks in the picture but still not ideal. They are about 1 metre from the back wall. I enjoy they way they play almost all kinds of music. They work especially well with club jazz, big bands, acoustic blues and have a wonderfully large sound stage for more complex orchestral works. I have a Behringer B2092A SUB to help the quads with the low frequencies. It is hidden away and not visible on the photograph.
