How far from a wall should these speakers be? null

I actually called Klipsch about this. There are a lot of variables but what he said was that they recommend 24" from the FRONT of the speakers (so about 9" from the back) or, if you turn them slightly so the bass bounces off the wall at an angle then the sound waves won't reach the listener at the same time as the sound waves from the front so it won't get canceled out because they are traveling in a different direction. If you do this then they can be right up against the wall. It will take some experimenting and really depends on your listening habits but you will get it. I personally ended up with mine with the back about 5" from the wall but at around a 5 degree angle and they sound amazing!

bout a foot and a half from wall

I put my two about 6 inches from the wall. To me it is all up the how you think it sounds and looks. Keep in mind that if you have a bigger room, you will have to turn up the bass a lot more than if you have a smaller room. It also helps a lot if you have a subwofer for the bass.

Mine are about 2.5 feet and they say to toe them inward.
