In Reply to: Speakers that can be close to rear wall? posted by Matthew G. on January 6, 2002 at 14:30:51:
I have a pair of SC-III's which in their "parked" position are 2 feet (or less) from the rear wall.In this position I find them quite listenable and (depending on exact location) sometimes find the overall tonal balance more pleasing than in my "listening position".
Having them positioned closer to the wall the only noticable deficiency (in my room) is a loss of 3 dimensionality in imaging. I've found this can be somewhat compensated for by putting dampening material behind and between the speakers. Although I haven't tried it yet I suspect a diffracting surface would be best.
I find the SC-IIIs very tolerant of less than optimal positioning. However, I suspect that the laws of physics will dictate that there be some loss of imaging with any loudspeaker (due to higher frequency backwall reflections) located close to the wall.
