[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 735167, member: 13448"] I have a set of Vivid B1's in an area that is just slightly larger than your area, although the one side of my room is open (next to the right hand side speaker). From what I can see there is a brick wall between your listening area and the stairs, so your speakers are effectively "boxed in". The Claro's are quite large if memory serves and I think they may need a bit of space around them. A thick carpet on the floor between the speakers and couch certainly helped in my case. I also raised the speakers off the floor each onto a granite plinth which further helped. My listening space is unfortunately anything from ideal but due to WAF my options are limited. Still it's better than nothing :giggle: My setup allows the speakers to be 2.6m apart, 2.6 meters from front baffle to my ear and 0.7m from the back wall. I consider this to be "near-field". 2m away from the speaker is extreme near-field especially when using floorstanders in my experience this proximity often does not allow the different drivers to "blend" resulting in you being able detect sound coming from individual drivers. In this case standmounts may be easier to integrate. [/QUOTE]
