24" from the front wall to the back of the speaker.
B&W 802d Room Placement
I'm posting this as a suggestion to 802d owners. The reviewers at Steriophile and Absolute Sound toed the 800d series in when they reviewed them. All of the photos I've seen on Audiogon, they are toed in.I've seen them in 2 dealers show rooms and they were also toed. I've owned these speakers for 3 yrs. and used them with a various equipment and room treatment. I would urge you to give them some time at 24" from the front wall, with no toe in.
It really opens up the sound and let's the virtues of the speaker come through.
