Wilson Alexia V seating distance


I haven't had my dealer out to calibrate my speakers as I've been working on some remodel work.  But I noticed in the manual for seating distance is says:

"The listening position should ideally be no more than 1.1 to 1.25 times the distance between the tweeters on each speaker."

Does this mean I should be sitting between 1.1x and 1.25 times the tweeter width?  Or does no more than 1.1x mean that I could sit closer than 1.1x.  

Let's say my tweeter width is 10 feet to make it simple.  Does that mean I need to sit between 11 feet and 12.5 feet away?  Or just closer than 11 feet....

Thank you!

As an owner of 4 pairs of Wilsons including Alexia 2s about to be Alexia Vs, the distances are recommended minimum and maximum. I have never sat outside of that zone but I have seen set ups that do (usually closer than the minimum) and can still work well.
