I appreciate the link, and you’re right that I did not capture the nuance that truly goes into speaker placement with my comment.
The recommendation I’ve heard for the Goldenear Triton series and seen in dealers is to have them farther apart and more toed in than I’m accustomed to, with positioning closer to the back wall than I would usually go for. As @badbeef pointed out, they still perform well (or better) when pulled further into the room.
They are not Klipschorns, that’s for sure. Sticking Goldenears deep in the corner would be no good. Certainly wouldn’t argue anyone on that.
