I'm interested in these speakers after the 2007 WHF award result. I've seen the article in WHF, and their advice not to place too near walls. Now i'm no hi-fi expert, but why is this a problem with front porting speakers. Surely the very purpose of front porting is to avoid 'booming' from walls as you would never have them pointing at a wall?
Tannoys own leaflet says back of speaker ideal distance from wall is 0.5m's. That seems a huge gap for a compact speaker to have to be optimal. I simply don't have that much space available to give them between my wall and where I sit (directly in front of them about 2m's away with speakers toed-in).
Will I suffer bass bloom/boom if they are closer? I can spare them 0.20m's max...
Any guidance appreciated, cheers.
