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.

It's a good question, but it begs for another question.
Do you have near, mid or farfield speakers?
How large is your room.
I have nearfield speakers in a small room.
(Barfoot sound MM27)
What annoys me inspite of room tuning (acoustic material) is that i still would like to move my rear wall 2 meters further.
A close position would be a benefit talking side reflexions (floor, roof and side walls).
You want direct sound and not reflextions.
Anyway, this is all a can of worms....
