How far away from your speakers are you?

A Dead Head wife with her own substantial LP collection who understood and enjoyed audio prior to our marriage and an invaluable partner in setting up and furnishing. 

Very close to Golden Ratio for speaker placement with very slight toe in as per manufacturer suggestions. 
Used the mobility of an office chair to fine tune seating position.
Crawl Test method to locate two subwoofers. 

Home theater in a separate room using perfect circle and uniform tweeter hight for 7.1 to locate six of the seven identical speakers.
Crawl tested the subwoofer location in the mode nearest the listening position. 

At the moment following CDC directive-- 6 ft away. 

My listening room is the garage simply because I spend a lot time outside. I have a nice private space here for me, my system and my CBR 600 which is parked between (nice visual) the speakers The first pair of speakers are 7' apart second pair are next to them and 11' from the futon I relax on.I greatly enjoy the sound and the solitude .....and some of the neighbor's must enjoy it as I have on many occasion been asked to "turn it up I like that song!".

How are you guys measuring?

From ear to front baffle of speaker?

From general seating distance to front baffle of speaker?

From either of those to the plane of the speakers?

7-8 ft. from your ear to the drivers is VERY close. Not many speakers are coherent enough to pull that off. I think most of you are farther away than you think.

I measure from my ear to the front of the speaker using a laser measure (actually my bass driver, probably, as my laser goes through the Vandy 'sock').

I thought at 8’-9’ was close as well, but am surprised how many others listen from that distance, or closer.

I don’t have much flexibility, and attempt to sit as far away as possible, while also pulling them out to achieve the best sound.

I’ve always wanted to explore Maggies, but just don’t think I have the room unfortunatley.
