how far off the wall

I undesrstand that a speaker should be given some room to breath, that is to pull it a couple of feet of the wall. With my kef reference fours I found this to be simple. The speakers are enclosed and so i measured the disstance from the back of the speaker to the wall behind it, and advanced it the need distance. With the Martin logan vantage should i measure from the woffer enclouser or from the electrostatic surface. thanks,cj

Besides saying 5' off a wall tehre is a formula out there to help avoid standing waves and all sort of issues that place your speakers based on room size. The speaker in general should be measured from the middle of the cone not the enclosure.

To tell you a story though I had a really good guy came in and tune my room. He started by the book placement, then tewwkwd to his sound meter and in the end did slight tweeks based on ear.
