How big is the sweet spot for the vandersteen quatro wood CT speakers?

Just fell in love and purchased a pair of Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT speakers. Going to be set up in my living room approximately 13 x21. The speakers will be 13 ft apart. We'll have two chairs. Our heads will be 6 ft apart  and 18 ft from the speakers. Has anyone had any success creating a sweet spot  that wide (so 2 people are in it)?

+1 for Johnny R.
I have no doubt you will have it set up properly.

For me, with my challenging room. I find the 'sweet spot' fairly large and 2 people can listen easily. FWIW, I like to move around and am often out of the 'sweet spot'. I like it just as much, which is why I love Vandersteen so much. It always sounds good.

@OP, are you going to leave the amp on continuously?
@miketuason ,
If your 'sweetspot' is only 6 inches, I think you need to do some adjusting.

@miketuason ,
If I were you, I would try moving the speakers. Sometimes the formulas don't work and placing where the 'rules' say no, may make a difference.
If you can find a Vandy dealer nearby, or call Johnny at Audioconnection,  you'll get more information for free than you can imagine.
