Yes, you want to be "within" your speakers, you don't want to take measurements outside the box. \:\)

Also, if you have reclining chairs they can cause reflection problems and skew the results. I placed mine back in the recline position, and used a tripod to place the mic at ear level.

I think the results are great, the surrounds never sounded so good, and the front soundstage seems much better.
