mw,
if the wall behind them is draped or damped in some way they can go closer to it than if it is not damped. because of the way the speaker is designed with its power response, it is also better to make sure you listen at 9.5 feet or more away and this may end up being more important than the distance to the wall behind them. also the distance apart depends a lot on how narrow the room is. a good starting point is 6" tweeter to tweeter but this works best in rooms of around 14 feet wide. do not beconcerned with the distance apart being 5.5 to 5.9 feet as their axial response is superb making them sound wide even if they are closer together.
if you need more specific help you can call me at the factory.

bobby
