Thank you dean...
It's about 13.5-14 feet to LP and I am SLIGHTLY off axis as speakers are pointed to just behind LP. not sure if 13-14' constitutes slightly bigger than near field for a speaker as big as the CW, but sometimes it feels like that. I played with placement a bunch, and it seemed as though slightly off the wall produced more spatial qualities... not cleaner sound or better imaging, but more space. they are still fairly close to the walls though... 5" on the toe and about 9" on the heel.
I am probably looking at alternatives I don't need, because truth be known... after the upgrade, it was the first time I have ever felt that I was even close to "done".
