These speakers can be placed right up against the wall with no loss of depth or soundtage... that is part of the reason that they are only 4 1/2" deep. This is copied from the Jordan Website and explains the placement well. Also it is so refreshing not to have speakers that have to be way out in the room to sound right !
"Again, despite convention, there is strong argument in favour of placing the loudspeakers as close to the wall as possible. This reduces the time lag between the direct sound and the reflection from the 'virtual images' and substantially improves coherence and spatiality. (The ideal, but usually impractical, solution, is to mount the drivers in the wall where there would be no virtual image)."
A brought my speaker sover to a friends house who has the Audio Refinement integrated and they sounded very good.... so good that he has ordered a pair. Another feelow just posted his system with the Carolina JTM's and is using the 47 Labs gaincard with great results. The speakers are very accurate and neutral so I would just try and match the with components that have those attributes.
