Re: How far does Ascend speakers need to be from the wall?
Since it's a small room like you said, and the 340 is rear ported with a fairly wide dispersion too (walls could become an issue)..
The only thing I can think of offhand without room dimensions, or furniture placement and all, is to have room treatments, or something softer near the walls closest to the speaker(s) to reduce any reflections they might cause.
