  I'm likewise convinced that distance to front wall greatly affects apparent soundstage - along with bass linearity.
  
  Ideally, he was all about the "Rule of Thirds". Start by placing speakers at room dimension thirds both laterally and longitudinally. Sit at the opposite third. Fine tune from there. I experimented moving both speaker and listening position using measurements to find the most linear bottom three octave (so called Schroeder frequencies) response with a slight tilt.
  
  The optimum location in my 25(+)x16 room is darn close.

    Ah. I missed the chair. Yes .. right now I am in a 17x30 room - but there may be plans ahead - and getting that kind of dedicated space away from everyone is nearly impossible. So I could be relegated to a smaller room. A way smaller room. I may like it - the immediacy and dynamic improvements.
    
    What I'm hearing is - it is doable. This has been very helpful for me.
