The Baffle is the entire front panel of a Loudspeaker (the surface that the drivers are attached).
The Baffle is also significant with regard to Radiation Pattern and how (in the case of) the A3 integrates in a room. Do not worry about this.
Your primary concern is to listen for the differences in positioning.
Exaggerate the spacing a bit to experience the difference.
Six feet is close to a limit for spacing.
Seven feet (7’) is only a reference for illustration.

A direct Physical contact to a wooden sub-floor will transmit vibration in both directions! Isolating all Audio Components can help make improvements.
Decoupling is something to be aware of while you are focusing on improvements.
Using low friction pads under the spikes to slide the Loudspeaker on a carpet (for example) would decouple the A3.
A reference point for measurement is a common question and not often specified.
The centerline on the edge of the Baffle in the vertical axis is the reference line.
Measure to / from any common point to the wall as it suits you though.
Use string and a marker if you so choose.
A throw rug on a tile floor could make a substantial difference in a
’Bright Listening Space’.
