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.

Hi all,

  I had the luxury of designing my music room on the side of our home with no size restrictions. The room is 30 ft. wide  by 55 ft. long with no parallel surfaces. The ceiling is 11 ft high in front and 18 ft high in the rear. The ceiling design was patterned after a concert hall in Osaka Japan.It was designed with acoustic treatment from ETF tests taken when the room was closed in.

 The three front channel line sources are 9ft 6 inches tall. Left and right channels are 6 ft. from built in subs and center channel is 11 ft from the curved front wall.  Seating positions are 23 ft. from the front channels.  Pictures are in Audiogon's extra large rooms-Ken Fritz's system.
