Distance of speakers from wall behind them

[luca.pelliccioli]

To whom interested on this argument, I started a poll a few months ago:

Speaker set up poll

Hi members, I’m reading (again) Paul’s book and Jim Smith’s GBS book about speaker positioning. A lot of useful informations, as usual. A lot of controversial theories, as usual. And the conclusion is always the same: let your ears judge! Having said that, I’m curious to know what is your preferred set up [image] . 1 Distance tweeter to tweeter (Y) compared to distance tweeter to listening position (X). It impacts on the soundstage width and accuracy of imaging, separation of instruments …

If I’m not wrong my speakers (front tweeters) are 4.8 feet from the front wall
