I'll answer most of your questions, but I don't think this is the appropriate forum to discuss the shortness of my poll.

I sit 6.5 feet away from the speakers, on a couch.

Solid plaster wall about 1 foot behind me, the couch ends about shoulder high.

I sit in a relaxed upright position, feet on the coffee table, hand in my waistband (a la Al Bundy).

Sober 99% of the time.

I'd like to paint a word picture more like the guy in the tape ad with the speaker about 7" away (a la NOS) and my hair blown back, but that was years ago...

I am 6 to 8 feet away from the speakers. small speakers are 3 to 4 feet from front and side walls; Khorns are in the corner

There is a walkway behind my head and a half wall to the kitchen, sides are open with a door and sliders, though the front of the room is enclosed

I sit up right, most of the time, some speakers and music make you want to get up and move around

I am always straight, usually before bedtime, every once in long while, when little miss sensitive ears is out for the evening, I will suck down some screwdrivers and crank the babies!

I hear live (amplified) music a few times most months, but it has been awhile since we heard an acoustic set.

[Deang]

I'm 8 feet away.

My chair has a cushy head cushion, so there is padding behind my ears. The closest wall behind me is 15 feet away.

The chair is a rocker, and I tend to tilt back a little.

I'm as pure as the wind driven snow.

[Jim Cornell]

I am 7 feet away

I sit reclined,sometimes straight up!

Wall behind me, left short wall right long wall!

Between me and my listening area, is the childrens highway, 9mo old, and a 2 and a 9 year old continuously running between us!

Sream factor reaches 120db +

Am always sober, i hate pot, ocationall beer, can turn into 12!

Depending on how the highway is for the day also,

I crank these up, depending on how the scream factor is for the day!

Regards Jim
