Five feet from the front wall

Just what does "X" feet from the front wall mean? Is this from the front of the speaker or the back of the speaker?

Regarding speaker placement, I always try to get the best bass relative to where room logistics force the listening chair to be. I agree that measurements are at best a generalization as I have never had a "perfect" room. There's always walls of different dimensions or an opening on one wall that isn't mirrored on the other side of the room.
