Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible.

I determined my position by listenings in regular position and in near field... Interestingly my 2 best locations respect this 38%...

My first seat near the speakers is at 38% from the front wall,,,

My second seat from the back wall is also at 38 %...

I just measured few minutes ago to verify...

In these 2 positions imaging and soundstage are holographic and near perfect...I attributed that to my embeddings controls but also i have always be conscious that optimal location for the ears exist, it is just that i never know this %....

😊

I determined my regular position with my ears ignoring this rule at this time...But now it is amazing that it works....Anyway even without knowing the rule it is relatively easy to spot the location with short listenings sessions....i did it...

Interesting..... A number to be remembered....You know why?

Simple...It just POP in my brain...

Because this is the value of the golden proportion, the crux of greek esthetic and acoustic and of Egyptian architecture....Rediscovered by Fibonacci in Italy just before Leonardo....

This is the reason why i suspended my copper bell resonator in the center of my room from the ceiling at the same proportion...I just realized that...

This law of acoustic is older than the Greek theater .... 😊

   I have gained a lot of knowledge and have received a lot of useful advice from various posts in this forum. Obviously, there are those here who have a wealth of knowledge and experience with audio equipment and the application of them into the listening environment. Often, the discussions stray from the main subject of the OP. Sometimes these stray comments are constructive and one may pick up some info that wasn't expected.
   However, dueling opinions and personal insults are things best left out of the intent of the forum to help readers obtain answers to specific issues. I praise the knowledge of some of the posters in this forum but do not want to sift thru unrelated input to the questions at hand.
Happy New Year Everyone.

1. Just ditch the outlier adjective ideal. Substitute possible.

Except for Mr. "Burn While Reading’" of course.
The Corn brothers did it better.

My experience tells me speakers must have room to breathe.  Pull speakers out from the wall.  It will always sound better.
