Maximum throw distance is 15m, but how close can the front be before driver integration and directionality compromises performance? Is 10 - 12 ft too close?
i use the JBL C221 speakers in my home theater. left,center,right. They are amazing. I use them behind my screen. The vocals are amazing and very clear to understand dialogue. My room has low 7'3" ceiling and yet still amazing. The room is 15 X 25. These speakers are made specifically for theaters and specifically for placement behind the screen. Highly recommend for home use.

It looks like the C221 is side-ported. How much space is required between them in an LCR configuration for the ports to work as designed?
The Ports sum with the LF almost in place. As long as the ports are not obstructed, there shouldn’t be an issue.
