Speaker distance


What are your current speakers and what is the distance between them?

Legacy Audio Focus HD speakers 9.5 feet center to center apart and 11 feet from the listening couch. Speakers are toed in to center of listening couch. Listening room dimensions are: 22'x12'. Speakers are out 3' from the wall behind them. 
Khorns 16 feet, but I want 30. Looking for a home with or where I can build an auditorium sized room. That will solve the majority of audio issues creating considerably less.

Wilson Audio Maxx 2's  7 ft apart C-C

I started with my Canton Ergo 1002DCs 8' apart, 20" off the front wall. The Left was about 5' from a sidewall with an upright piano against it. The right is about 20' from it's sidewall (actually closer to the left wall and piano) with other irregularities in the room including an unfinished basement "ceiling". My seat, a rolling chair, moves along a mid-line I've drawn on the concrete floor; between 8' (96") and 81" back from a line connecting the speaker faces. very slight toe-in.  It sounded very good to me.

Then I got a CD that guides you in placing your speakers with voice and castanet sound effects. The results were surprising and made a huge difference in balancing the sound stage and other SQ facets. I won't go into all the details, because I doubt anyone is in a space like mine, but both my speakers are now toed towards the left wall and everything sounds fantastic. Shortly before I got the CD I had upgraded from a Denon DL-301 mkII to a Hana SL. Re-positioning the speakers a difference much, much larger than the new cartridge did! Best $20 I ever spent on my systems! 


Vandersteen Treo CTs, 50" from the left and right walls, 36" from the front wall, per the odd-number-multiple computation in Vandersteen's literature. No toe-in. My ears are 8' from the speakers. The room is 15' long and 12'6" wide, with a pitched ceiling averaging 12' high.

Moving these 65-pounders on their three-each spikes isn't simple by yourself, but I've found that inserting a couple of 2x2 skids under each one makes it much safer.
