Seating distance to Magnepan 3.6r's?

I'm moving from my current living conditions to a new apartment. The main room (living room and listening room) is 17 feet wide by 26 feet long with 10 foot ceilings. My questions is: the Maggie's will be approximately 4 to 5 feet from the front wall, what is a proper listening distance, how far back should one's listening chair be?
Thanks for all your comments.

That will have to do with how far apart they are so that number may help get better answers.

The room is 17 feet wide. The speakers will be 7 to 8 feet apart, inside edge to inside edge.

Around 10' out from the rear wall (9.88' to be exact) should give a smooth response in that room. (you can measure to confirm)

Place the maggies at 6.18' out from the front wall, and 4.69' on bass panal center, from side walls.

I used the "CARDAS" dipole speaker setup method on the speaker location, and the 38% seating rule from the "REAL TRAPS" web site for seating location.

Works for me in my room.
