Maximum distance from my monitors

OK guys, here's the scoop. I have my speakers set up in a way less than optimal position. I'm sitting in a pefect triangle, however, I'm just six feet from my speakers which are also 6 feet apart. They are 6" from the back wall and my listening chair is right against the wall that's behind it(chair). Terrible!, I know. Finally, (diamond stud earrings helped, of course), my wife is going to let me move my system to the other side of the living room. I'm going to place the speakers (the best I can do, given my room dimensions) toed in slightly, 2 feet from the side walls and 3 1/2 feet from the back wall.---6 feet apart. My listening chair will have 3 feet behind it before the wall. I'll be 12 feet from the speakers. Is this too far? Will I be giving up anything? I can get closer, but that will require moving a chair closer, when listening, to make that happen. The, chair, although movable, has to remain where it is for optimal living. Not listening, though. I'd appreciate feedback on the distances. Given, where my speakers were (on the long wall, as well) and where they will be now, I'm excited about the anticipated improvement, regardless. SOUNDSTAGE!, alone will do it, for me. I'm just waiting on an electician (my electrician loves me. thinks I'm nuts, of course) to put in the dedicated lines/Hubbells; and then I'm off. Should be a day or two. I hope I gave you enough info. Thanks in advance, my fellow audiophools. peace, warren
