So the delay part is crucial and the result can be good?

I don't understand how long the delay should be (although I know how 
fast sound travels and how far apart my ears are).

Supposed I'm 10 meters away from a PA (speakers 10 meters apart), what 
should the delay be? What if I'm listening at home, 3 meters away from 
my home stereo (speakers 3 meters apart)? What if I'm listening through 
headphones?

I'm starting to find this interesting :-)

Maybe I should!
