I have asked D&D about the free positioning issue. Perhaps many bought 8c for studio uses, and I never see any users with pics of 8c pulling out from the front walls as 'domestic uses'.

I did that but the bass output was not as good as with proper rear wall coupling.

I must admit that I did no measurements but, audibly, the bass was greatly reduced and much less distinct.  Moving them back closer to the rear wall and setting that distance into the DSP was transforming.

The 8c sounds natural and neutral anywhere in the room.
