Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?



I am going to adjust my Magico A3’s positioning a little bit to try to optimize their performance and the listening experience. Due to the logistics of the room they’re in, there’s only a limited amount I can move them. I’ll describe the room and what I can do within those limitations. I’m wondering what improvement I might be able to achieve with adjusting positioning.

The room is approximately 14’ x 22’. There is a high vaulted ceiling. about 15’ at it’s peak centered in the room on its horizontal axis. Picture how kindergarten child draws a house. That’s the shape of a cross section of the room and vaulted ceiling.. The speakers are located about 8’ apart centered on the long wall. The front of the A3’s are only out 22" from the wall, the rear of the speakers only 9" from the wall. That can’t be helped. The prime listening position is on a couch about 10’ out from and facing the same wall, also centered. The components are on shelves centered and built into the same long wall the speakers are on. There are some other furnishings, and books above built-in cabinets, line most of the other three walls.

I can move the speakers about a foot farther apart or closer together, and I can change their toe-in. What changes, if any, might I be expecting or hope to achieve moving the speakers within these limited parameters? Could the sound-stage be affected? I’m not sure what the sound-stage should be like anyway. Should it extend to the left or right outside the speakers, or be mainly between the speakers? Right now depending on the recording the vocals and instruments are usually between or no further apart than the actual speakers. Could the treble, midrange, or bass response be augmented or diminished depending on positioning? Are there any other factors that may be affected by positioning alone? Thank you for any guidance and please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks,

Mike

The best deal on XLO Test CD is actually on Amazon, $19.99 + free shipping. 
If you really wanna have fun. buy some actually accurate speakers from Magnepan that only reproduce what you send them and set those up in a given room.

Cheers,

I prefer not to buy anything from Amazon.  I ordered the XLO Test CD from Elusive Disc for $23.79 (including shipping).  They were in stock for a minute, looks like they're out again.  
I agree with richopp, but recognize that placement is probably more important to Maggies than most other speakers because of the fantastic imaging and sound stage they produce. When you get Maggies set up properly, you'll have an "so that's what I've been missing" kind of moment.
Note too that moving some speakers closer together can improve the imaging and soundstage which can seem counter-intuitive.
