How far apart do you position your speakers ?


Of course it depends, but in many cases I discovered that 1.5-2.0 heights of a speaker work best for floorstanding speakers in smaller and medium-sized rooms.
What is your experience?

this is all dependent on room size and listening chair position from speakers.
Traditionally many"so called experts" recommend that your speakers and your listening position should form an equilateral triangle. Thais means that the distance of each speaker related to your seating position should be of equal distance, and that the distance between the two speakers should also be that same distance, of course this is just a basic guideline, albeit a good one to start from. Remember that there are certain speakers that are designed for specific positioning such as nearfield listening, or corner placement etc. With these types of speakers the traditional guidelines will not usually apply.
Inna,
Are you saying the distance between the speakers should be 1.5-2 times the height of the speaker? That's just plain weird. I have never heard of that, and it doesn't make sense. Every speaker has a different dispersion pattern and sensitivities to side wall proximity etc, so how could the height influence the diatance between the speakers?
