Great system
Have you tried reducing the tow in?

Wall-to-wall carpeting is really good for a listening room. Some designers of listening rooms say it is more or less a must.
My 3.6 are spread further apart, 2.5 m, tweeters out. Listening position is 4 m away. The speakers are rather heavily toed-in to get a good central focus. The opening angle to the tweeters are about 45 degrees. Still, the sweet spot is very limited. Imageing is mostly determined by the recordings. Surprisingly few recordings are made in true stereo, panorated multi mono is the norm. Playing classical music really expands the soundstage, also some older jazz recordings and stuff like Pink Floyd.
After fooling around most of the day with position, I found the solution. I put on a test record (Opus 3 Depth of Image) and sure enough the sound stage went well wide of the speakers and the depth went past the wall!. Leave it to the Swedes :).

The toe-in is about 6" and seemed to give the best frequency sweep but I will take your suggestion to heart and see if less/more solves the issue.
Measure from outside edge of speaker to back wall. Repeat for the other side.
You now have 2 measures of speaker distance to wall. Say they are 48" and 50" for a net difference of 2".
measure the width of the triangle straight across the room.
The triangle you have is short side-2" Hypotenuse is the width of the speaker and the 3rd side is the 90 degree angle from the short side to where it touches the hypotenuse.
Do the math. You will be able to compute the ACTUAL ANGLE of Toe. Further doodling with pen and calculator will show where they 'cross' in relation to where you sit.
Too much is never enough
