Walls are not the problem, even for Quads. The back wall can be several
feet away. Their width is problematic but because of the passage space
to a window and to another room, not because of walls. Placing slim
speakers and surrounding them w/plenty of air should be no problem.


If you want the Quad sound, you'll need to be using a dipole. To get
any bass from a dipole, it needs to be wide.
