Pretty close - the back of the lower base modules are 18.5" from the back
wall. It's hard to tell without actually standing near the rear of the
speakers or measuring them, which I just did. The outer front
electrostatic
panels are 31" from the wall, with the inner front panels toed-in to 30"
from the wall, per the specifications in Martin Logan's Quest Z manual
which
came with the speakers.

Sound about right to you?




Have you tried moving them out further from the back wall?

Yes, but (1) I noticed no improvement in sound, and (2) they intrude too
much into the listening room, which is also a "family room".

Do you have any absorbtion or diffusion on the wall behind them?

No. Just wires. :-)

I don't have a "dedicated listening room", or I might experiment with such
things.

BTW, I understand you also have Martin Logans and ARC tube amps. Good
taste, matey. :-)
