My screen is 8' wide and I have been trying to keep them close as possible to the triangle. The center seat is 8.5' from the screen and the headrest is like 9'. They recline also. Reading that having the speakers slightly towed in, as you say, becoming less aggressive this way being a proven solution is very good news.
The reply I got at club Polk says I can set all of them to Large as they are somewhat capable of playing lower frequencies. I tried this and I needed to put more insualtion in the ceiling in a particular spot to be able to do so, but it seems to help for a few reasons I mentioned already. I also have less problems with the volume this way. I called the store I got the AVR at this morning and they said my extended warranty was not over until next year and to bring in the AVR for inspection, so hopefully I will get the part sorted out also.
