Living Room 2-Channel System. Art Glass by Kevin Lubbers, Cabinet by Restoration Hardware. LRS are shown in display position, listening position is 4’ from back wall.
I do something similar with speaker placement in my loft. When the grandchildren come over the speakers are pushed back into "safety" position and then >4ft back into the room to listen. My wife always asks why I need to keep the little pieces of blue tape on the floor :)
