clbeanz, I had pretty much the same speaker placement. My room is 11'x 21'. I had mine about 6' apart and I felt I was still missing something. Then I decided to mess around with placement. They are still as you say firing down the length of the room but I moved them 8' apart, about 4' into the room from the short wall and exactly 18 1/2" from the side walls pointed straight at me. The results were unbelievable! Talk about a cavernous soundstage and the imaging also improved greatly. Try it and see what you think.
Review: Soliloquy 6.5 Speaker
Category: Speakers
The Soliloquy 6.5 is a wonderful window into what the audio world needs, quality. The more I listen to these speakers the more I like them.
I have been going back and forth between the tube (p2000t)and solid state (p2000b) Marsh preamps, which are amazing in their own right, and the 6.5 is neutral enough to allow all of the character inherent to each preamp speak so clearly. The tweeter and midrange driver are crossed over very nicely. This is the best part for me. The detail in Mark Knopfler's stratocaster and Joni Mitchell's voice was enlightning. I found detail and nuance I hadn't heard before at the $6000-6500 price range.
The bass quality is worthy of note. The deepest basslines and organ tones were reproduced solidly and with a high level of detail.
The Soliloquy 6.5 is definately worth checking out. It represents a great value when considering that it keeps up with the likes of Wilson, Aerial, JM, etc... If you think that last statement was bold.....go hear the 6.5!
