I've read a lot regarding speaker placement but I do have a question. If someone states place the speakers 3ft from the wall where do you measure it? From the rear of the cabinet or the from the driver position?
Typically, it is from the front driver position. The key to speaker placement is to adjust, listen, adjust, listen and adjust and listen. It takes time, therefore, be patient.
It also often pays to think out of the box in regards to placement, especially in rooms where more traditional placement options for best performance are not viable.
For example, in smaller rooms in particular placement that leverages a room corner somewhere in the middle can be a boon for soundstage and imaging when other more traditional placement options away from walls are not viable. One of my 4 rooms that I have set up for good sound currently is set up this way typically and results are outstanding.
