how far do you sit from your speakers?

I've found that if I pull my chair about two feet forward from the wall that the soundstage feels more three dimensional. Speakers are about eight feet apart and my earrs are about that far from the tweeters now. anyone have any thoughts on what's ideal. Speakers are Spendor S8es.

I'm well off the back wall nearly 10ft or so. unless you meant due to the chair back being above my head a little bit.

BTW.. I always cock my ears before listening. I hear better that way and it's fun for friends and family..

Then you are in an excellent position. The head rest on a recliner will not have much effect if it is soft and rounded. A high back that partly surrounds your head would not be good.

it's close. Either just above or just below, depending on posture. Early evenings, just above .... later on just below.
