I am guessing that at your friends seat, when you lean forward, your head ends up about 3 ft from the wall behind the seat. That would be roughly where the bass room mode null would be when the speakers are 3' off the front wall.

So I would suggest moving the seat forward by about 1' and a bit to place the seating in the null, and move the left speaker another foot towards the center. That should keep you within a good triangle, and help with symmetry against the open wall. The toe in and speaker distances will have to be fine tuned from scratch.

Another solution is to use heavy damping directly behind the speakers and/or really heavy damping behind the listening seat to prevent the bass mode there. Some damping on the left front corner will help with symmetry and avoid pulling the deep bass note images to one side.
