What is the minimum distant for Zu?


This is for Zu definition owners, I have the def3's and now have them about 10 in from front wall and about 2 ft from sides

What is the minimum from the front you recommend? thanks,Scott

IM THINKING IM WAY TO CLOSE TO THE FRONT WALL, THE MORE READING I DO.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO STAY FARTHER THAN 10 FT ON THE DISTANCE FROM MY LISTENING CHAIR.
I assume that there are distances that produce better results than just randomly trying positions
You all have good points, but my prior speakers were the Zu Presence and they were rectangular so totally different shape than the Definition 3, I think they worked best close to the side wall like 14 in but the def3 doesnt like it so much
My room is my bedroom with my listening chair at the foot so it's in the only place it can be.

The room is a nice size though it's a little over 23 ft long by 15 wide and 8 ft ceilings,it also has a large bathroom off of that it's all open.

I am around 14 ft off the front wall so have some room to work with was just trying to get some ideas because I thought the wider apart the speakers were the wider soundstage?

It's my listening area so as far as them being in the way or looking out of place that doesn't matter.

I just want to get the most out of my speakers, I don't watch much tv and believe it or not the big reason I got this house was for my listening area space.

I am addicted to music in a big way.

Like everyone else here,I just want to get the most out of what I have.thanks,Scott
Thanks for all the info, I'll try a few things and see what sounds best, but from what I gather further into the room as long as I have a minimum of 10 ft from the speakers should do the trick.

New house dedicated room, 28 by 17.8 and 8 ft ceilings. I had them about 4 ft of wall behind speakers and about 13ft apart I thought the wider the better however I went and visited a shop in Memphis to have my turn table set up and he was listening about seven ft apart and seven ft away. I had remembered Shaun was saying in a room you should set the speakers a 3rd of the way in and so I tried the speakers at about 9 ft from the wall and about 9 ft apart. Let me back up a bit. At 4 ft It sounded good but there was a certain tone that would irritate my ear, not sure what it was but after I moved them it went away completely!!! To me placement made more of a difference than a new component did.
