Speaker placement question-

When I read a a review of whatever speaker, the reviewer may comment how far the speakers were placed from the back and side walls. I have always wondered how is this measured. If its a box speaker, as most are, and if the speakers are said to be 36" from the back wall, is that 36" measured from the speaker's back panel, the front panel where the drivers are mounted, or from a point at the center of the speaker cabinet? Same question applies to distance to the side wall. Thanks!

Interesting timing... I just finished my speaker placement and I have to say that the Cardas Golden Progression method was what I used as a starting point....

My final placement was just a few inches closer to the side wall but the distance to the back wall was right on the money based on their multipliers.

My soundstage is wide and I have layering of depth. Imaging is good too! But... the best thing that I was able to gain from this setup is a very robust bottom end. I had problems with suckouts and this has gotten by room pretty flat across the frequency spectrum. I ran some sweeps with my trusty XTZ Pro setup and I am pretty happy with the result.

Of course YMMV.
