You're kidding right?

There's not set rule in feet as to how far you should position your speakers (apart from vague guidelines for near and far field monitors), but it is generally best to position your speakers in an equilateral triangle, so they each speaker is as far away from you as they are from each other. So if your speaker are say 3 foot apart, you position should be three feet from both speakers, and they should be "turned in" to point at you. This is really applied to studio monitoring, but seeing as you want to hear the track as close to it's true reproduction as possible, why not apply it to Dj monitoring, that way you will hear the tracks clearly during a mix.

I'm not going to go in why you need to this, or how far from the rear or side walls you need to place them as this is really acoustics 101, and any link you click on from googling "Speaker Placement" or rudimentary audio engineering book will give you all the answers you need.
