Closest I ever tried it with any success was with Avantgardes at 22" out (from ear to wall).
But it took more absorption.
Actually worked pretty well.
Closer than that, bass was too heavy, never too light.
In my current set-up, the REL B-1s (just behind the Tannoys) are working from 26 Hz down, so the bass requirements (which definitely includes seat placement) are slightly different.
That also applies to a few Maggie systems as well, going back to the Tympani 1Bs in one installation that I particularly remember. In that room, getting any closer than about 20" produced a kind of nasal coloration.
All things being equal, I prefer to be out into the room more, but all too often our smaller rooms won't permit it.
And of course John Dunlavy preferred near-back wall seat placement.
Hey, aren't you both Aussies? :)
Best regards,
Jim Smith
