I have a pair of 3.6 with an active crossover in place of the external passive crossover and of course, 4 channels of amplification. My room is 410x515 cm. I have the 3.6 on the short wall, rather close to the side walls. No problems with having them 30 cm away from the side walls. Tweeters in, about 250 cm between the speakers that are angled inwards, axis crossing in front of the listening posistion. Although I have a wall rather close behind the listening position, the soundstaging is very good.
I have compared the 1.7 and 3.7 in a similar room - 3.7 was really on a different level, especially the soundstagin. My 3.6 does benefit from the active crossover/double power amplification but they do not have the mids of the 3.7.
