Absolutely! Speaker positioning is critical. My floors are so uneven which is why I’ve found myself correcting their position several times over the years.
Sir Adrian Boult conducts Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme, Concerto Grosso, and Partita for Double String Orchestra. London Philharmonic Orchestra. Angel 1976.

This album really grabs you by the ba......throat.

3" one way and 2" the other and quite a difference in presentation.

3”, 2”? Thats a lot ;-) I use a laser measure, and play occasionally with small adjustments, sometimes out of boredom and curiosity whether I might have missed that perfect location. And heck, I try 1/4” to 1/2” changes, and believe me, I can hear the difference at times. Especially with toe-in, which for my Vandy’s are not much at all, and small adjustments matter. Space apart, and front to back, I might get really crazy and try 1-2” adjustments ;-D

I spent a long lone time figuring out, in general (specifically) what the best overall placement is, but can’t stop myself from tweaking at times. Just to check.
+1 bkeske,

Try 1/8". I can even tell the difference on my subs by very small increments.

I get the feeling many plop their subs in a corner/s and are done. What a mistake.

I credit the Jim Smith book for my speaker positioning and Pierre Spray (Mapleshade) for my subs positioning.
