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

Hello,

I happen to find an good article about the ideal speaker placement. 
(Easiest version without numbers & formulas that I can’t honestly understand :D)

I’d like to share. 

Personally I find two things interesting.

1) Only use 40% of the room area (38% rule)

2) Put the speaker as close as possible to the back-wall (next to bass trap)

Of course, minor adjustment would be required depending on speakers.
Still, I think this is helpful to figure out the very first step.

Happy listening.

p.s. what should I do with half of the room left... :?

The only way to solve the problem is like this.

I own 7 headphones, 2 stax electroacoustic, 2 magneplanars. 2 dynamic one, one hybrid...

I dont listen to them for the last months anymore, my speakers wre not in their level class few months ago...
 But now rightfully embed my speakers make them not interesting, not natural, each one headphone has his own peculiar limitation...Compared to them my speakers has not these limitations anymore...

Happy New Year...

If all of you were in the same room conversing face to face, would you be speaking to each other the way you are writing to each other from afar? Obviously, I am not referring to everyone who is posting on this thread. Most of the people on these forums know how to disagree but still be civil to one another.

Let your ears be the judge.Linn Isobariks (my favourite speaker)My experience with them isnt against the back wall as reflections from the upward firing mid and tweeter tend to create an unhappy relationship with reflection.Let YOUR ears be the judge.

About a foot maybe a few inches more from front wall with speaker toe in whereas I can barely still see inside surface/side of speaker. My seat is equidistant to the distance separating speakers. Tweeters at ear height etc.. This has always been I tried and true method, at least for me. No science involved 😁
