I am considering the Triton 2+‘s for a two channel system. Like, perhaps half of you, my available listening room is not custom built. The compromises include placing the speakers near the front wall (6 to 10”), distance apart (60”) and no single “sweet spot” listening position.
How fussy are these speakers?
Is it possible to fill a 12’ x 15’ room full of music that can be enjoyed from more than a single carefully placed listening position, and still get some of the benefits, e.g. soundstage, resolution, etc.?

Hi, BobP

I think you'll find the T2+'s can provide a great sound stage under a variety of room/listening conditions and positions. My experience with Triton towers is that they project a full, balanced, room filling sound even when I wander around some while listening.

As a general approach, you can adjust toe in to accommodate more of where, how you listen. Increasing toe in, like pointing the speakers in front of the listening position, widens the sound stage, and yes with some trade off in perfect stereo right at the MLP. So if you were planning to listen only in the MLP sweet spot, you'd probably want to have the speakers aimed directly there. But given how you are planning to listen, I'd recommend spending some time with speaker positioning, especially toe in, and I'll bet you'd find a combination that works for you and your room. The sound quality and dispersion those speakers can deliver is worth it, IMHO.

Good luck and happy listening!
