I made a drawing of the room, you can see it by accessing this link:

Behind the couch, is the path to walk in to the kitchen. The rectangle accross from the coffee table is the fireplace. The opening near the chair is the dinning room. Where the TV is marked is the TV stand catty-cornered. The speakres sit on each said 4' apart from inside side of one speaker to the next. To gain the 9' feet of distance, I would have to move the TV/stand into the bay window (where nothing is, it's just open). and put the speakers against the wall where the bay window ends. So the speakers will not be backed against the glass, but against the walls.

The couch+end table will not fit in the opening to the dinning room where the chair is. Although I could angle the couch more towards the bay window then it's current position. I would also be moving the lounge chair more to the middle of the opening to get it centered with the listening position.

That is the only thing I can think of to resolve this problem. I will take some real pictures, so you can better see the room. Standby for those...
