Planars really benefit from being at least 5' away from the wall behind them
""
Well Googling planar location bring up a variety of theories.
One saying 3 to 5 feet from back wall.
Another saying 1/3 of the way into the room!
I am using part of that 1/3.. being an odd distance. (where even distances are bad) And chose 1/7th and 1/5th and get 45" out
Which is in the middle of the 3 to 5 feet suggestion.
As for the 5ms delay.. Well yes at the exact spot behind the 5 ft out speaker. (and that energy is reflected right into the back of the speaker anyway) However the vast majority of the reflected energy is not from exactly behind the speaker. In my setup the average distance from all reflecting surface behind is as close a a few feet near the side wall, to around 7 to 9 feet.
