I’d like to record a video clip of my audio system playing musics and share to my friends via Facebook. The recorder is simply an iPhone (model XR). I wonder to achieve the best records; sound closest to the real listening in front of the speakers (to allow my friends to hear my system’s sound, not the music), and have minimum room effected sound, what position is the best? Should it be a meter away from the front of the speaker plane and height to tweeter’s level? Currently, I locate the microphone (the iPhone) so that the left and right speakers stay at the edges of the mobile phone’s display and the height is about center between two woofers due to the limited height of the stand, my speakers are floor-standing Braun LS200.
PS. I know it’s difficult to achieve the best sounding, but the objective is to let my friends listen to mine and we comment each other. It’s just for fun activity.

It is good listening excersize: record at various positions and listen how it compares to reality!🙂 which one is closest? do any of them match reality? if not, why? do they have to, does the speaker qualities you want to show still come through?
Best shot for "realistic" sound would be to use dummy head, and then listen with headphones, hopefully equalized to individual. See David Griesinger ear mics and headphone adjustment, he records live shows and finds it remarkably realistic listened afterwards if done with care. Mic needs to be very close to eardrum, so inside your own ears.
