Thanks Ozy.
Wow, on multiple measurements. I am surprised that they need to be so far from the front wall, and more surprised that they are only 5.5 feet apart. That's good to know. I guess they need a lot of room to breath on all sides. I have read several times that the Utopias are very easy to place well and are very forgiving. Sort of the opposite of the Raidho.
With 5.5' between and 11' to your seat doesn't your soundstage have a relatively narrow width? That's a relatively acute angle between speakers at 11' out. No?
I'm sure you have played with speaker placement and seating position extensively and thus attain the best sound possible in your room. I guess I was expecting the speakers a but further apart.
I'm glad I asked.
