Can Piega P10's Be Placed Up Against The Wall?

Hello-
I have a large, difficult room (20x22x20) with no options for speaker placement. The media wall also serves as a walk-way to another room, so pulling them out is not an option. I've heard the P10's have good bass & I need a speaker that can pressurize a room. Amplification is Classe CA-401. Can I get away with putting the Piega P10's up against the wall?
Thanks

I have a pair of NHT3.3 these were designed to be against the front wall. I have them set with 6 inches between the wall and back of speaker.I considered getting a pair of P10 about a year ago. I emailed the MFG. and if I remember they said 9 inches would be a minimum.Call the importer or email the MFG

Best news I've heard yet. 9" is do-able. Thank you... I'll call the distributor.

George, don't get too excited. 9" minimum? I don't know about that, though my good friend Diane goes with an 8 inch minimum. warren :-)

George, I've owned these speakers.

A great pair of speakers IF and ONLY IF you have the room for them. 3 or four feet away from every wall at a MINIMUM (preferably more) or you're wasting your time/money with these speakers. Otherwise bass will be boomy, dynamics will be compressed, soundstage will be flat, and imaging will suffer.

I owned the p-10 and my room is 24x30x12 cathedral. The best placement was 8 ft from back wall and 5 feet from sides. I sat 9 feet away for optimum sound. Excellent speaker but lacked the bass I was looking for. Probably to small of speaker
