Those Quads are really close to the wall, I've never had a pair because I can't get them into the room in my house. How do they work there?

I certainly do.

They are further from the back wall than it looks in the picture but still not ideal. They are about 1 metre from the back wall. I enjoy they way they play almost all kinds of music. They work especially well with club jazz, big bands, acoustic blues and have a wonderfully large sound stage for more complex orchestral works. I have a Behringer B2092A SUB to help the quads with the low frequencies. It is hidden away and not visible on the photograph.
