Speaker Placement - Frequent Placement Changes?

Hopefully, in the not too distant future AI will be able to give you exact placement advice, and then we can all live in a set it and forget it world. Spent way too much time because of my ignorance trying to figure out where my speakers need to be. I have limited space So at least that keeps me in check from messing around too much. 

Typically I will experiment when the speakers are new. Then a year or two later… verify / fine tune… then not touch for years.

100% relatable and totally me. Interestingly enough, as of late I don’t mind playing around with placement - and that’s with IsoAcoustic Gaia’s underneath the speakers which make placement changes a huge pain.

My listening room doubles as the family living room, so per the chief decorator/love of my life, the speakers reside shoved too far into the corners....I try to sneak them out a few inches here or there when she’s not looking, but they typically stay in what I consider a "plan B"...an un-optimized, but acceptable situation.  Once in a while I get to pull them out where they belong and let them breath, and I’m always amazed what a difference it makes to the soundstage. 

If they weren't so heavy, and it didn't take me so long to tweak the final angles and adjustments when I move them, I'd pull them out more often when she's out of the house.
