"I am going to have to disagree with you as well, sorry man . I have a 92" screen and sit about 10-11 feet away, I would not have it any other way, I have not heard the 2.5x rule? I have seen the 1.5x rule alot (which would put the ideal seating at 11.5ft). Really, seating distance is all up to the viewer, everyone has difference preferences."

After reading your post I thought: Wow, did I remember wrong??? I hate to give incorrect advice to anyone. I do agree that it is certainly a personal preference. So I did some quick research and in fact my recomendations were even a little conservative from several other sources. In other words, he "should" sit even farther back than what I stated, not closer.

At any rate, the main reason for my suggestion was for him to consider an easier setup for his speakers. And also so that he could possibly get floor standers, which IMO will give him better sound quality in a room his size.

Great forum though and it certainly keeps us all on our toes!
