room size question.

Yes, most loudspeakers today need to be pulled out from the wall. 3 feet is a good starting place. A 12X12 room is big enough to get a great sound stage but you'll have to work to get the best set-up. 

Speakers are can definitely be room dependent. My rear ported KEF’s are 4’ from the front wall, from the drivers, and a bit less than 4’ from the side walls.  But if your speakers are front ported, you can have a lot more freedom to move them closer to the front wall.  Electronics, room size and acoustics also contribute a lot to what speakers will work in your room.

All the best.

speakers ( pbn m2 monitors ) are 3 ft from back wall.  65" apart and 22" from side wall.

listening chair is 65" from speakers.

2 subs, 1 each behind the speakers and close to back wall.     equipment rack, which is very low is between speakers.

GIK bass corner traps in corners behind speakers, 2 diffusors on stands at first reflection point and 2 acoustical panels behind listening chair .

what would you change or leave as is ?

i have imaging in the center, but that is about it.
