How far away from your speakers are you?


I thought it would be interesting to know how people position their speakers... do you have the freedom to put them where you want or do practicalities dictate?.. How far away are they from the listening position?.. How big's the room and how far away are they from boundary walls? My main speakers (Seas A26) are 1' from back wall, 3' from sides in a 14' by 20' room and my listening position is  about 16' from the speakers. Just wondering how much floor space we're willing to give up to get the optimum placement.

My speakers and I form an equilateral triangle. They are 9.5’ apart, center to center with toe-in directly at me. I sit 9.5’ from them.
The front baffles are 4’ from the front wall.
Check out my system pics to see.
Perks of being single:

Speakers are 4 feet from front wall.
Never ask to listen to music.
Play whatever I want at whatever volume I want.
Never ask to buy any equipment.
Never have to lie or schedule deliveries of new equipment.
No one ever nagging me about audio or anything else for that matter.
Never worry about someone taking my system or needing to sell my system for extra cash when the divorce happens.
