I was just wondering how far from the wall you guys have your m60's? I have mine 6 inches from the wall right now and have experimented with 1-6 and don't really notice much of a difference.

I don't own m60's anymore, but when I did they were probably 6-8" from the back wall, similar to my current m80's. Make sure you don't have them the same distance from the side walls as the front walls for best results...

The rear ports of my M80s are 9" away from the rear wall.

I currently have mine about 2" away and have had them as far as 12" and have noticed much difference either, the bass gets a little louder the closer to the wall but only marginally.

Between 12" and 15" depending on the room -- further from the wall in smaller rooms. As everyone else said, closer = a bit more bass reinforcement, so you just move 'em in and out until it sounds the way you want. Sort of like tone controls but really inconvenient

Currently about a foot away from the wall with the speakers up in the loft, with the back wall maybe 35 feet away.
