Yep................ The only reason I don't own 3.7's or even 1.7's. Just won't work in my room.

So I have mine in a 17x30 room. Very nice size and flexible. Saying that - I’m a firm believer of getting the best speaker you can.
Basically you could run tweeters in - run close to sidewalls which will enhance bass - and have 7.5’ max between the speakers. You will want them 5’ at least off the front wall - so you will definitely be up close. It will be tight - probably not optimal ... but I’d do it!! Your amp will be fine in these closer quarters and you certainly won’t syffer for dynamics given the near field you will have. |

My listening area is 11' 8" wide. The Magnepan 20.7 speakers closest edge to side wall is 18". Angled in, with tweeter in, the closest edge of tweeter side is 42" from rear wall, the woofer side is 58.5" from rear wall, so the empty space is about 56.5" between the speakers. This arrangement was carefully arrived at to allow the best imaging, least reflective problems.
I would say other folks 'never tried out' theories are not a match for actual doing I sit about 9ft from the tweeters And per Magnepan, the woofers are slightly behind the distance to the tweeters.. |

Go on audioasylum in the planar forum and search on Limage.

The rated efficiency of the two speakers is very similar. I have had 3.7s for 5 years and I just went to 20.7s. My amps are Bryston 28BSST2s. I of course experience more low end, but in terms of overall volume, it's set the same typically as what I used to have.....Your room is way too small for 20.7s, or even 3.7s for that matter. Surely you jest!!
