I would recommend trying "get better sound" by jim smith. he's very helpful on room setup.
also, very good you are thinking careful about position. I hate "best speaker" discussions here because room position is so important to sound.
getting rid of TV in the middle will help with bloom. it is good you are focusing on this, also.
I don't know enough about these speakers, but I do know you can shift soundstage of planar up and down by tilting them. maybe these too? also, adjust toe-in for sound stage and imaging.
There is interplay between how much you can get speakers to play the room and how much you accept defeat and try to isolate speaker sound from room. I find I get best result if I have a lot of toe in and send HF directly to ears. Sweet spot is small, off axis listening is not great, but I get densest tone and bloom given limitations of my own system.
