I've got them in a room just about exactly that size. Also, due to the configuration of the door to the room and the closet I am forced to use the short wall for setup. I have them facing straight forward and 6" from the back wall and approx 2 feet from the side (perhaps a few inches less). Sound is spectacular........ clear, precise, detailed, full of impact, and wall-to-wall. I use some densely stuffed oversize pillows in the 2 corners to the outside of each speaker and find the bass to be tight and powerful. Using a pair of Emotiva xpa-100 monoblocs, xda-2 dac/pre and onkyo cd (coax out to dac) and getting sensational sound. I have (or have had) Salk, Martin-Logan, Gallo, and Magnepan and these VR-33's are staying exactly where they are right now!!!!!! Quite a speaker and extremely addictive!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are anywhere close to northwestern Pennsylvania you are welcome to come and take a listen. I'm sure you would be very pleased with them in your room as well.
