Distance from the front not the rear wall?


What´s the optimun distance from the front wall (lisener seat) to the speakers? A lot has been said about the distance from the speakers to the rear wall, but no much regarding the distance from the lisener seat to the speakers. I ask because my seat is located against the front wall and I wonder if the sound (direct from the speakers and the sound reflected from all surfaces) that hear is "blurred" due to this reflexions. Should I put my seat at the same distance I have placed the speakers from the rear wall? Thanks in advance for your comments.

I prefer to sit close to the wall behind me, so long as that wall is properly treated.

I see a lot of the posts mention its not good to have your head near to back wall. But the method I've recently started to use (to good effect so far) recommends to do this ( with minor to no room treatments )
Its the method recommended by Immedia/Sonics explained here:

Any thought as to its merits?
Thanks for your comments! Well I just read the article suggested by Pcoombs and goes against the comments above given! In this paper it is suggested that the lisener chair be located against the rear wall!! Can someone explain who is right?
Tiofelon,
Welcome to the subjective(but fascinating) worid of High End audio. there`s a modicum of "right" or absolute answers, i.e. tube or solid state, digital or analog, silver or copper etc. If possible try moving you listening position and compare the differences, it`s the only way.
Best of Luck,
