Does anybody change their speaker placement with different types of music and bands?
I am wondering if if different music has an overall best position, ex. near field for such and such, speakers wide apart for types of imaging. I feel it might have to depend on recording and mastering? stereo or mono?

Well let’s see... it took me hours and hours of tweaking and measuring and trial and error to get the combination of speaker placement and listening position optimized. Then another hour or so tweaking toe in to get the perfect balance of sound stage width, depth and focus. Then the whole room is treated with a similarly time consuming combination of panels, finally culminating in a dozen or so HFT, each of them carefully placed to fine tune things to near perfection, and all based on where the speakers are now.

Okay. So the question is, am I gonna do all that every time I pull out a record?

Just want to make sure I understand the question.

This is actually a very good question. Kudos to the OP for thinking creatively. It may be true, not sure, but you'll find very few people wiling to put in the time and effort to do so. Listening habits, i.e. playing one artist for a week, etc. versus a variety of artists daily, would dictate the (im)practicality of it. 

There is no "perfect" positioning; subjectivity is inherently involved in the home environment. Audiophiles can revisit the seating position as well as the positioning, baffle slope, toe in, etc. of the speakers. 

I know of no one who repositions for each selection played, but in terms of speakers used, a different position for each particular speaker would not be unreasonable. You could always move the listening chair to suit your fancy as a means of getting into or out of the soundstage. 

In my experience I have found that a favorable positioning of the speakers relative to the chair is gratifying with all music. I do occasionally experiment with width, toe in and distance from the chair, as well as speaker distance from head wall.  YMMV
The only fail safe way to find the absolute best locations for speakers is using the speaker placement track on XLO Test CD or similar. All (rpt all) trial and error methods, laser techniques, etc. are only capable of finding local maximums. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack by guessing. For a given room and speakers there is only one solution to the problem. All other methods are like trying to solve n simultaneous equations in n+x unknowns. And as progress is made with room treatments and tweaks the speaker locations will have to be re-established as needed.
