Listening distance


In other threads we discussed speaker placement , equal triangles and 83% triangles , I just wondered what the average speaker to ear distance was . Seems like a lot of friends are further back than traditional wisdom suggests .
Will warmer systems bring you closer to hear more detail and brighter systems move you back ?
I'm about nine and a half feet back .

My speakers are at 8.5' apart (center of woofer) and my ears are at 10.5'-11' from speaker center line. Not an equilateral triangle but to each there own I say. Only your ears and source material matter! Enjoy!
