Start with your room acoustics. Good acoustics will outlast every other piece of gear. :)
GIK Acoustics gives great advice and most value components. Courtains, wall hangings behind and on the sides are additional ways to improve the situation.
Once that’s dialed, then make decisions.
Usually adding acoustic treatment in the plane of the imaging you want to enhance is the best idea.
Lastly, you need speakers with really controlled dispersion OR lots of acoustic panels. I mean, it’s a trade off. The narrower the dispersion, the less acoustic materials, more or less.
But that’s a tight spot. Line sources or panels may be much better options. The last thing you want in this case is very wide dispersion speakers. Small horn loaded/wave guide speakers may also work well.
Try crossing your speakers in front of you instead of shooting them straight ahead too.
