Listening distance


In other threads we discussed speaker placement , equal triangles and 83% triangles , I just wondered what the average speaker to ear distance was . Seems like a lot of friends are further back than traditional wisdom suggests .
Will warmer systems bring you closer to hear more detail and brighter systems move you back ?
I'm about nine and a half feet back .

6 foot triangle. I use a single driver with a tweeter. The imaging is very good.
There Are many factors that dictate the distance of listening. The room is the biggest factor to consider.
Speaker hight and how many drivers is another.
Inna, I don't understand what you mean by a fixed position is an exceptable compromise.
But moving around is not a compromise ?
Once you get your speakers positioned in the best possible place in the room, then get your seating in the best possible position in the room, how can that be a compromise ?
We all know that everything in this hobby has some form of compromise. But floating around your listening position is not going to give you stability.
Just my opinion of course.
