Anyone using floor standing speakers close to the wall?

Thanks Goat1.

Okay, Spurrier_Sucks wanted pictures so this is what I'm working with. I currently have the left and rights about 15" from the side wall and about a 12" from the back wall. I'm still playing around with the placement and currently will need longer speaker wires if I keep this like they are. Some of the stuff in the area, I'm just trying to see how it'll hide wires. Looking online I think I may try one of the setups along the baseboard to see how that looks. I'm sitting about 6 ft. from a 52" TV and did play some with placing the speakers further from the back wall.

I have the speakers out wider than I initially thought I'd go but I was trying to keep them just to the outside of the sitting area. One problem with this is that the bass rocks on the ends but isn't as tight/defined (I guess is the word I'm looking for) in the middle. Another reason I plan to get the 8060 center.

I don't like my center speaker being so low so I've tried angling it up some to see if it seems more clear to me. Currently using a wrist wrest for a computer and a bean bag but those won't be permanent.





Speakers aren't tilting. I'm not sure why it comes out that way. Same thing happens when I try to take a picture of my blu-ray collection. Also, the kind of large black box to the right is an ottoman, not a sub. It's just another object I was trying to see about hiding wires, cables, etc. Also, one of the best things is how much better music sounds with this setup than the satellite system I was using before. Just that fact makes them worth it.
