Hi Toddd,
I have them centered on the short wall, 6'8" from tweeter to tweeter. That leaves about 3 feet or so from the side walls. After experimenting, I decided to put them a foot and a half from the back wall (which works well because the speakers are front ported), and 9' from my listening position. I have bass traps in the back corners, as without them I was getting a little bit of boominess (I was getting this from the Quads too, so the boominess is probably attributed more to my room than the speakers). With this setup, the speakers do the disappearing act with great imaging and soundstaging, with solid, tight bass.
I had a couple of EL34 amps prior to the Joule amp. One, a Cary V12R, had no issues with bass, IMO. The other, a Dynaco ST-70, was mushy. Both amps imparted a pleasing, warm sound. The Joule is more revealing while maintaining a warm sound, albeit less warm than what is offered by the EL34's.
Have fun with your Merlins!
