Your center channel is irrelevant to your question.
Forget the "calibration". It's marketing bullshit.
Do you want good advice, or not?
Let me be clear: Your speakers are too close to the listening area. Separate them more. Move them closer to the wall. Endeavor to enlarge the spaciousness.

I understand what your saying move apart and closer to the wall but don't I also have to keep my front 3 speakers in a arch with all three speakers the same distance from the listening area? I use this setup for tv,blu-ray and video games. I got a nice headphone set up I use for music
Not really. We're only talking about a foot or less, which is about 1 millisecond. If it turns out that you're getting too much center channel for your taste, just turn the center down a couple dB and things will fall back into balance. It's important to remember that we're trying to solve/reduce a greater problem - the lack of spaciousness and the need to sit in a particular position. Opening up your triangle will help to accomplish that.Edit: You might want to consider toeing in your speakers even a little more. This will help to reduce the tendency of the sound to "pull toward" the closer speaker.

Actually, the Yamaha should compensate for distance when you calibrate, so the fronts being behind the center isn't an issue.
