How far do you sit from your speakers

Pryso because I was simply curious about the various geometry people would be using. I have no physical way to change the geometry of my setup so I'm not looking for suggestions. Only curious what others have in their setup.

As to my speakers/system etc. I use Pioneer HPM-100 speakers, so there is no owners manual or manufacturer to discuss anything with. As they were last sold in about 1980.

My system is based on a 1973 Pioneer SA-9100 amp

I have the whole system EQed to the room with a Pioneer Spectrum Analyzer to deliver as flat of response as it can produce from 32Hz to 16kHz.

I am extremely happy with the system and the sound I get. So I am not looking to make any changes.

Magnepan 3.6s 42"(average angled) from back wall, Edge 17" from sides, inner edges 39" from sides with 59" between inner edge of speakers. Corners have heavy drawn open drapes behind, and floor to ceiling bookshelves on side walls behind speakers. I sit 100" back, to 120" reclined.
My audio rack is on my left hand with the volume controls at arms reach. The room extends another twenty feet behind my listening position.
Wide stance of speakers have good soundstage, and allow WAF (since I AM the 'W' there, it pleases me no end) so I can see out the big window between speakers, as I lay here all day listening to music. The space allows me to reach the shelving on the walls behind the speakers better. I have a low-slung light weight, spare-framed leather chair between the speakers, top of chair is only 33" tall. Bryston 4B-SST2 Amp behind chair.

I'm sitting on the sofa in the picture of my system, that is on my system setup.

My Maggies are set up almost exactly like Elizabeth's (my youngest middle name, and she's so freakin cute!!) and I set a bit closer 10'. The Maggies throw out such a huge sound stage that they sound wonderful everywhere in this huge room, but they do have a sweet spot where I sit.

As always, Elizabeth, you made me laugh! "I am the "W"! And, a great detailed description. Any pictures of the room?

The angles seem narrow with 100" to the speakers and 59" between the speakers. Is that characteristic of the 3.6? Is 42" closer than average from the back wall? I am asking because I am curious about getting into Maggies and this seems different than the typical box speaker.

FWIW I just finished reading Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" and he recommends a slightly elongated triangle where the distance between the speakers (measured tweet to tweet) is 83% of the distance from your ear to either tweeter. Of course there are many variables here (speaker type, irregular shaped rooms, ETC) but I have found over the years that my setup typically fell pretty close to this arrangement without knowing about Jim's ratio. Based on my experience and what I've recently read, if your "traffic pattern" allows I would suggest you use all that length to move the speakers well out into the room and then sit closer to them and see what happens. This would also ameliorate the problem of having the entertainment center between the speakers.
