Need some thoughts how to arrange the speakers


I have B&W Matrix 803 S2 and a small room (~4*5.5 meters, see the attached picture). I'm in a process of renovation my flat and I have a possibility to make some changes to get better acoustic results. By the left side it's a kitchen, by the right side - three windows. Yellow is a bar table, blue - sofa, red - tv and green - Matrix. I guess the current version is the most optimal for living but not for the music) But the task is to keep everything in the room...

Having the left speaker fire into the kitchen is never going to be ideal. And you can't move the left speaker closer to the right because you have the TV in the way. If you get rid of the TV, that would solve the problem very nicely, but I imagine you'd like to keep it and probably in the current location.

Why not consider putting the Matrix speakers to the right, in the alcove in front of what appear to be angled windows? You might need to add a chair near the coffee table for critical listening in the sweet spot. This arrangement would have the added advantage of getting the speakers away from the wall, which I suspect is compromising their performance in the current setup.
