Geeze,

thanks for calming my fears. I have no idea whats wrong with me. I spend countless hours each day researching acoustics etc...I feel like I am loosing my mind with all the decisions that have to be made concering a theatre room.

My wife seems to think I am going crazy as well I feel much better that I don't need to be 3ft out! lol.

No you don't need to worry about this. Mine are 1 foot from the front wall (the back of the speaker is 1 foot away I mean). I think the 1/5 guideline you are talking about is referring to the front of the speaker anyway. Sure the further away from the walls the better as far as wall reflections, but most of us have these types of limitations.

I am sure they will sound great to you, wherever you need to place them.

Don't get too sucked in by the Golden Measurements thing. Just so you can leave enough space behind the speakers for the ports to breathe, you'll be fine.

It's supposed to be FUN, remember?

People with OCD find fun in perfection.

hahah...really...i don't...

You guys all know how it was when you first started looking at this home theatre stuff. I want to know everything there is to know before I start purchasing things ya know? There is a wealth of information on the internet, it can get quite overwhelming.

Yeah, it's annoying-you think you've figured it all out and then you realize that you just peeled away another layer of the HT onion. Sure, get your acoustics perfect and your room to a 'magic' size, but then you'll need computer software to calculate exactly where the speakers and couches should be placed to avoid any acoustic anomolies in the listening area.

Oh, and before I started my quest for making a 'WOW' home theater, I had never found something that triggered my latent OCD.
