I've been eyeing these for quite some time. Really tempted but my big concern is positioning. Can I put these inches from the wall and still have them sound good?

You'll get more bottom end, not necessarily a terrible thing if you prefer exaggerated lows. But if you have a decent receiver with good autoeq, it'll flatten out. Just dont place the speakers...

Loving mine that I purchased around the time they were first released. They sound good enough that I don't feel the need for a subwoofer and have a nice sounding simple 2.0 setup.

The Elacs would make excellent honetheater fronts. Have heard the R15M only on display at FRYs. I imagine it’s not in the same league as the Elac.

Yeah, I read similar comments on AVS Forum and that worries me a bit. I have a Pioneer VSX-1120K, which puts out 120W per channel @8ohm. Do you think that'll be sufficient?

From https://www.elac.com/product/ub5/ - Recommended amplifier power: 40 to 140 wpc. Given the continuous average output of 110 wpc of the VSX-1120K you should be good.
I use a 40 Watt (tube) amp...

The Emotiva BassX 100 is a well reviewed amp that won’t break the bank. Onkyo 9010 is also a great amp for around 300. At the ~120 mark I whole heartedly recommend the SMSL AD18.
