Speaker distance

@geoffkait I agree. I think we tend to set our speakers so far apart as to replicate a stage experience. And yet our rooms aren't a stage. 

King Sound - KS17  Thirteen feet apart . These are panel speakers that do not place the soundstage outside of the speakers . Everything is in between them only . Ample room between instruments this way . Pull them closer and there is no illusion of full scale .

Speaker position (acoustic centers)

• 8' 7" apart
  
• 1' 8.5" from side wall
  
• 2' 7.5" from front wall

Listening position

• 6' from side walls
  
• 1' 10" from rear wall (acoustically damped)

Ear Height

• 2' 11" from floor
  

Room Size

• 12' wide
  
• 13' deep
  
• 10' high
  

Focal Aria 936's here. I'm not sure what room measurements would matter because the room is part if a larger area, but the listening area is about 13.5' by about 20'. The Focals sit as follows measured from their baffle centers: 9' 10" apart, 10' 3" from my ears, and 3' 2" from the wall. I haven't measured but I'm going to say the toe is somewhere around 22 degree.

I have ATC EL150ASL at about 7 feet apart tweeter to tweeter and I sit about 12 feet back. No toe in. I don’t like an exaggerated stereo effect and I like to keep speakers well away from side walls. There are also no walls within 6 feet of the listening position. Walls close to the listener just make the sound terrible.
