That's as spread out as I can get them. I'd prefer to have the rear speakers, well, in the rear, but there's nowhere to put them. As for the subwoofer, it's not usually facing forward, I had turned it around to double check the model number. There's really nowhere else to put it aside from that corner though. I suppose I could move the front pair further to either side of the monitor, but that's about all the additional spacing I can afford.
