How far should you be sitting from your speakers?

I have a pair of Martin Logan Summit speakers. I wanted to know everyones thoughts on how far away should I should be sitting from Electrostat's.
I have the Summits 8' apart and I am sitting 10' away at this time. I tried sitting in a perfect triangle 8' but it seemed to close to sharp in the highs.
What is the ideal position?

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...

Another way that will work, Use a steady 1K pink noise tone adjust spacing and distance for a Ball of sound Perfectly between the speakers. The ball of sound will be very noticable when obtained. This can take a while.

You've got the speakers beaming at your ears. Experiment with cutting down the angle ever so sligtly a little at a time until you get out of the hot spot.
