	My Bose 901 owners manual claims that they are to be 12" to 18"
	away from the wall. That tends to make them sit out in the
	middle of things for average sized living rooms. A big pain in
	the ***.

	Since the speakers are intended to reflect sound off the wall,
	you need to prevent putting furniture in places that will 
	interfere with the sound. Again, a real pain in the ***!

Your imagination is much better than mine! It has been my experience
that the Bose 901's are easy to grow out of. When I wanted to hear Rock,
and R&B at high sound levels, I enjoyed the Bose. Now that I find myself 
more interested in sound quality, I find that listening to the 901's is 
no longer an enjoyable experience. I am beginning to find myself turning 
off my system because many times listening to the 901's is tedious at
best. I only wish I could afford a pair of those damn Apogee
speakers (why did I ever listen to them :-)
