Speaker Width?

Speakers are too wide apart, 6-8ft
from midrange/woofer and 4-6 ft. backwall
8 ft.listening position 
slightly toed in.
keep it simple 

I don't think anyone is reading any of the previous posts.

It’s hard to generalize because different speakers produce different radiation patterns, the same speakers generate different acoustic patterns in different rooms, the listener position is variable and rooms without quite so many acoustic anomalies have a better chance of finding ideal locations. Rooms with no acoustic treatment have almost no chance, forget about it. But for those in a hurry try 5 feet apart. That should get you pretty darn close. No toe-in. 

OK.... so I have read all the posts so far..... It's a small LIVING room for gosh sakes!!  This guy is NOT going to pull the speakers 2 feet into the room.  Any he's NOT going to ditch his hot and/or rich girlfriend... what are you nuts?  And you see that spectacular view?  I'm an audio nut, but there is more to life (please, please let there be more.....)  And yes, maybe it's a bit TOO much speaker for the room, but nothing is permanent.  The #1 thing I thinks you can do now is get some nice looking absorption panels to go directly behind the speakers.  I have built my own, and I've also had some made with custom fabric that looks cool.  Being the bay area, there must be a local company that makes sound panels.  I used LA Sound Panels here in LA, and have some with a foliage patten fabric.  They can be made any size, look great, and will dramatically improve your imaging!   

On the other hand his speakers are 12 feet apart. So, his living room cannot be too small. Besides, as I’ve oft commented, 12 feet is waaay too far apart. Perhaps if the room was 50 by 50...
