General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Corner-friendly speakers like Audio Note AN-K

These speakers sound absolutely delightful pressed into corners. For a monitor, it has amazingly good bass and no boominess. The sound is relaxed, refined and just a bit on the "romantic" side although they are quite well balanced (not colored). The speakers you mentioned really do need to be a meter or so away from side walls to avoid bad reflections. Monitors, per se, do not solve this problem. I have a pair of 12" high Ls3/5As and they need to be at least a meter from side walls to really radiate without nasty reflections.

As for the post directly below, I think this is what the author was trying to get at in his own way. I will point out that, in many European countries, your room would be of average width. And I have seen Quad '57s make gorgeous music in such surroundings, too.
