How to position speakers in room 8 ft wide but 35 feet deep?

202.78.88.133

It's not really a room but I live in an apartment and this is a studio type so my listening area actually includes the kitchen but not the bedroom which is actually much smaller.

I plan to sit around 7-8 feet from the speakers. Should I toe-in the speakers? How far from the side walls should they be at the minimum? If I put them too far from the side walls they might be too close together and give me zero soundstage whatsoever.

I have been previously using the other way which is 35 feet the width and 8 feet from front to back, but while it gave me a wider soundstage, it was much more boomy sounding.

I am doing experiments up to now but I am interested in what opinions you may have on how to take care of this thing. My speakers are Dynaudio Audience 40s with 29 inch stands.

Also, does my room configuration rule out a sub?
