Speaker Placement - Frequent Placement Changes?

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

Spent way too much time because of my ignorance trying to figure out where my speakers need to be.
 

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.

I just moved mine for the first time in a year or more. The reason is because I’m finally trying some room treatments and decided to try less toe-in, which sounded best before.  The speakers were pointed at my ears which probably reduced the amount of sound bouncing around the room uncontrolled.  With room treatments, I was able to point the speakers a few feet behind my head and that has increased the soundstage. 
Without any changes to my system, I subscribe to “set it and forget it”.  

I will explore placement issues if there are any changes made to my system or the room...otherwise not much except if I'm in the mood to for fun...minor moving tweaks are easy with my speakers...
