How far do you sit from your speakers

How far from your speakers do you sit and how far apart are your speakers (measured center to center of the front baffle) looking for the distance to the actual speaker not the line between them.

Just curious asked this on another forum and it appears my triangle is much bigger then the average.

I'm 9.5' apart and 17' from my speakers

My room measures 13' wide by 23' long with a Staircase in the left corner and an alcove under the stairs in the right. The spaces behind allow my speakers to be 30" + from the back wall.

Because of traffic patterns my speakers are as far into each corner as possible. A much less then ideal situation.

I am also saddled with a huge ET cabinet between them. Our son made it for his mom and it appears that I am stuck with it forever!

Pryso because I was simply curious about the various geometry people would be using. I have no physical way to change the geometry of my setup so I'm not looking for suggestions. Only curious what others have in their setup.

As to my speakers/system etc. I use Pioneer HPM-100 speakers, so there is no owners manual or manufacturer to discuss anything with. As they were last sold in about 1980.

My system is based on a 1973 Pioneer SA-9100 amp

I have the whole system EQed to the room with a Pioneer Spectrum Analyzer to deliver as flat of response as it can produce from 32Hz to 16kHz.

I am extremely happy with the system and the sound I get. So I am not looking to make any changes.
