Sonus Faber Question
If your main listening position on the couch is too far back maybe get a side chair and just place it in the sweet spot for critical listening and put it back off to the side for proper WAF.  How about putting some casters on an Eames chair and ro... 
Sonus Faber Question
Unless the speakers are right against the walls, which isn't ideal, your listening position at 14' away is too far.  Measure how far apart the speakers are from tweeter to tweeter then multiply that by 128% and use that for a starting position for...

For those familiar with Sonus Faber
I auditioned the Novas and the Amati/Sarafinos.  The Amatis are noticeably just more speaker.  If you can make the stretch to the new version of the Amatis I'm sure you won't be disappointed.  @dayglow makes a good point that the Novas are due for... 
How does speaker placement affect the width of the soundstage?
+1 @baylinor  The room is critical. Hard to help without knowing the layout and room contents.  I think of the room as another piece of equipment.

Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
