There's actually quite a bit to like about the set up. There's no rear wall reflection to worry about. The part of the room where the set up is has high ceilings so no reflection issues there either (Maybe from the ceiling wall behind you but I wouldn't think that's a biggy)
You would be surprised but taking the speakers further apart isn't what I would be looking at. Jim found by trial and error over the years that on average he ended up about 83% of the distance from your tweeters to your ears as the distance between tweeters. In your case, they look to be about 2m apart and your are sitting about 3m away, so you could come into the room by another 50-60cm or so. That's good for sound stage. Your tweeters are also quite low to the ground due to the d'appolito designs you'd want to tilt the speakers backwards. Also, toe them in a bit.
All these things are guidelines and a place to start from, NOT rules. One thing I can say that for every hour you spend on setting your system up, you would have to work ten days to pay for better quality gear to get the same improvement in sound quality. The improvement it that profound.
Enjoy!
