I'm sorry. I wanted to respond but am not logged in on my phone. I had mine in a 12 foot room and it worked quite well. Whats nice is if the sides of the room are different distances, it won't be an issue? Open baffle is a completely different animal. Unless you're a bass head, and want to feel the bass. This would be one of the major issues! I have the cousin to the S6, the M6. I listen to classical and the soundstage is to die for. The sound stays mostly to the frontwall. They're very polite, in the sense that the sound stays where the speakers are. They will play any genre of music. No questions asked. I'm pretty floored with what I'm hearing, and these are only improved.
