I am considering recommending the A130s to friends who would place them on bookshelves surrounded by books, probably shelves 11" to 13" deep. (The A130s are about 9" deep.) The speakers would be driven by a NAD 7155 receiver, which has bass and treble controls, but no other eq would be used. Would the close-to-wall placement be a serious problem? My friends listen mainly to jazz and classical cds/lps.

Placement: A pair of JBL bookshelf loudspeakers should be placed approximately 6-10' apart and angled between 40-60° toward the listening position. They should be mounted as close to the seated listener's ear height level as possible. Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner. JBL recommends that you place the speakers at least 20" away from side or rear walls.
