What I used to do with my TV (36 inch 4:3 direct view CRT) was pull my chair up so that I was less than 5 feet from the screen. Then I would just change the speaker toe-in to greater toe-in. But I still left the speaker distance alone (still 9 foot apart, 2.5 feet from the rear wall). After all, I was "just" watching "movies." So I didn't think it was too critical.
Although I like Drew's idea of putting the TV stand on casters. But for me, I had my entire system on the stand, so pulling it out wouldn't have been easy when dealing with speaker cables. But that certainly let you not have to re-adjust your speakers.

If I cant move my speakers any closer together, what is the best happy medium for sight and sound in your guys' opinion?
