I've had my speakers in the corners because of necessity for the last few years across a number of different speakers including Linn Index, Dali Ikon 6 and currently Kudos C2.
Anyhow last week, the room was being redecorated and before putting all of the furniture back I played with the speaker placement by bringing them out into the room. This sounded awful, completely lost the soundstage, the sweetspot, in fact everything. Quickly pushed them back where they belong.
Sounding great again now, especially as we now have all the furniture and new rug in.
To me this says, big speakers, small room, put in corners!
