I have a 12 X10 room...

I use a front ported Sonus Faber Concerto stand mounted monitor set up against the longer wall, 19" from the side wall, of which one side opens up to another living area. Its set 32" from the rear wall and 64" apart from the inner corner tip of each speaker. My head is positioned around 70" away from each speaker. Seated, the back of my head is approximately 15" from the back wall.
Due to the almost cubical nature of my small listening room, the nearfield set up reduced, but not completely eliminated, bass overhang and improved the imaging and sounstage by reducing the "smear" caused by the bouncing around of soundwaves around the cubical room before reaching my ear.
I don't think there is an exact measurement for nearfield listening,it's just an idea to make sure that the sound waves that reach you are direct and unaffected by secondary soundwaves in a small room.
But each speaker is different. I tried the Meadowlark Kestrel II in the same room with nearfield principles and the speaker locations were different.
There's a lot of trial and error involved, before finding the optimum position for your room size, which, in my case , is the weakest link in my system.
