FWIW I just finished reading Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" and he recommends a slightly elongated triangle where the distance between the speakers (measured tweet to tweet) is 83% of the distance from your ear to either tweeter. Of course there are many variables here (speaker type, irregular shaped rooms, ETC) but I have found over the years that my setup typically fell pretty close to this arrangement without knowing about Jim's ratio. Based on my experience and what I've recently read, if your "traffic pattern" allows I would suggest you use all that length to move the speakers well out into the room and then sit closer to them and see what happens. This would also ameliorate the problem of having the entertainment center between the speakers.
How far do you sit from your speakers
How far from your speakers do you sit and how far apart are your speakers (measured center to center of the front baffle) looking for the distance to the actual speaker not the line between them.
Just curious asked this on another forum and it appears my triangle is much bigger then the average.
I'm 9.5' apart and 17' from my speakers
