Is there a formula for separation distance between speakers, versus sitting/listening distance?

Some speakers have different requirements than others. Vandersteens don't like side walls. Maggies don't mind side walls. Tall speakers like Dunlavys need a little more distance from the listener to integrate the drivers.
