My preferred distance would be 1/3rd into the room, with my listening position 2/3rd into the room. In my room 1/3 is not feasible for the speakers so I use 1/5th the distance and 2/3rd for the listening position. This was the starting point, and small adjustments from there were needed to dial it in.
How far from the back wall are your speakers?
I like very much the sound from my Totem Staff speakers, although the are 4 ft 4 in from the back wall, a little far into the room than the suggestion from Totem. Just how far are your speakers from the back wall? My lisening room is 10 ft wide by 17 ft long.
