I recently heard a pair of Kef R500s with a Leema Elements amp at Frank Harvey hi-fi. The system sounded fantastic and I particularly fell in love with the speakers.
I am about to move house and want to buy the Kefs to put them in a room that is 2.6m wide (3.5m long). I've looked through the Kef manual and they recommend that the speakers are 1m from each side wall. This obviously isn't going to be viable in my room as it will leave little space between the speakers.
Could anyone with experience of these speakers let me know how fussy they are about placement? Could I run them relatively close to the side walls (say 50cm?) without experiencing boom? Would R500s go in this room without problems?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I would like these speakers and I'm unable to try them in my room.
Many thanks.
