I use the standard of 1/3 the length of the room to place the speakers from the front wall. My dedicated room is 21x15 and my speakers are 7’ out from the front wall. Then I used Jim Smiths recommendation of sitting 120% (+ or -) of the width of the speakers to the listening position. I used these Dimensions to start and then moved the speakers/chair, speaker toe in, to fine tune.
How far away from your speakers are you?
I thought it would be interesting to know how people position their speakers... do you have the freedom to put them where you want or do practicalities dictate?.. How far away are they from the listening position?.. How big's the room and how far away are they from boundary walls? My main speakers (Seas A26) are 1' from back wall, 3' from sides in a 14' by 20' room and my listening position is about 16' from the speakers. Just wondering how much floor space we're willing to give up to get the optimum placement.
