How far should you be sitting from your speakers?

What sounds best to you.

Cardas cable has a mathmatical formula to identify exact speaker placement. I've experienced awesome success using this method. Go to their website and check it out! Good luck.

"If you think you can you can".

All of the theories are a starting point. There is no formula that takes into consideration all the nuances of your room, your system, and your ears.

Find a good starting point and then go by ear.

If you think you can do anything because you believe, you are a lunatic...

A good rule of thumb is a seating distance equal to the distance between the speakers, from tweeter to tweeter (measured center to center).

If you experienced hot tweeters, you might try adjusting the toe-in so the tweeters are not pointed at the listening position.

Putting some acoustic treatment (absorbtion or diffusion) at the point of first reflection on the side walls will help.

Also, you can try scotch taping one sheet of toilet tissue over each tweeter. Don't laugh. It works.

Otherwise, you might just have hot tweeters...
