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.

Focal aria 936’s:   room: 19x42    2 10” diy subs. Set just high enough to add support without obvious bass boost/boom
speakers are 5’ from curtained front wall 7’ 7” apart and 9’ 5” from listening pos.
Which leaves just over 5’ from side walls.   Very slight toe inImaging is outstanding. With maybe just a touch too little center fill. 
Toe in more?  936’s by most recc’s  do best firing straight forward, but I’m not finding that in my room.   Time to play a bit with position but I’ll have to mark current carefully. Hate to loose what I’ve got and not get it back.
