Try toeing them in so the speaker axes cross just in front of your listening position. It may look a bit extreme, but it'll give you excellent stereo imaging

Just for interest, (and to semi-hijack...) what should you do if the opposite is true i.e. you can't put the speakers any further apart, but you have to sit further away than recommended...just leave them face-on?

I'm no expert, but I doubt conventional speakers are designed to be toed out, thus I would think face-on is best. All speakers today have quite a wide sound dispersion so I should think straight is right. Perhaps even give it a couple of degrees inwards!
Listening to my system now, I have got by far superior imaging but a much more sibillant treble (which is hurting my ears a little at -18db or more) and I could also do with a bit more thump in the bass rather than the droning it is giving (most likely because it is too close to the wardrobe, wall etc) would upgrading to a CD192 improve this or perhaps give a more dynamic sound by going for a Naim Nait 5 CD player.
Has anybody else here heard the Wharfedale EVO2 30s? In WHF they comment on them "lacking power and drive", but have "decent detail resolution" and that was when they were in the £650 range rather than the £250 you can get them for now!
Cheers!
