Measuring Speaker Distance


When speaker placement is recommended to be, say 3-5 from the front wall, is that measured from the back of the cabinet to the wall or from the front driver side to the wall?

That's very odd. I just now clicked on the link above and up popped the thread I'd remembered. Anyway, not from the back of the speaker. Most folk say from the front, or from the plane of the drivers -- something like that.
