Throw away the tape measure.
I've had my Edgar's at various distances in different rooms and it was more or less equilateral within constraints. Currently, they're nearly in corners about 12' apart. What I find as important is toeing them in to a reasonable center point perhaps a bit beyond the listening position. I measure the toe in to make it's the same and I find the sweet spot is quite wide and imaging is deep and well positioned.
The room also doubles for HT and even way off axis, the imaging is pinpoint while using just the pair as a phantom center speaker.

In previous home my best position was about 15 feet from mouth of midbass.
The speakers were about 9.5 apart. I am in a different house and if I were to do equilateral do I measure to the diaphram ot to the midbass mouth?.I plan to get to equilateral than move progressively away from speakers. Will have to get a buddy to help as I can't move much anymore....:( Thanks
As Tom so aptly put it, equilateral isn't as important as the equal distance to your ear and the toe in.

Ah got it ,will experiment with those thoughts in mind.
