Speaker distance

Just curious, did any of the above responders know their measurements or did they actually have to measure before posting?

I'm not sure if there are an infinite number of loudspeaker/listener placements, but there's surely more than one in any room that will work well.  Different positions have different sets of trade-offs which some listeners may prefer and others not.

I knew my distances. My room is less-than-ideal, so using an odd-dimensions placement is pretty critical. The acoustic centers of the speakers sit at the 1/5th and 1/7th intersections. The listening position (approximately) falls on odd-dimension line as well. I have 2” pressed fiberglass at the first reflection points, as well as behind the listening position. Toe-in points the speakers just over the shoulders. 

Knew.

I guessed and today pulled out the tape measure and was totally wrong, 46 inches not 5 feet! On one hand this makes me feel better about my personal height,  on the other it seems a tad close together. However I am someone limited by an area rug in the living room. I think it sounds good but not much soundstaging as a consequence, I sit 78 inches away.
