If this is a dedicated listening room place the speakers along the long wall, approximately 7 feet apart and bring them out into the room halfway (yes, your speakers will seem like they are on top of you). However, your soundstage should re-appear. From this point, move the speakers (small movements eg. a couple inches at a time; play with toe in) around to get a solid center image and proper bass response etc.
If you can't move the speakers this far out, you will compress the soundstage somewhat as you move them closer to the front wall (the wall behind the speakers). Dave
