I don't get out much anymore but have to help a guy from the land of Victor Borge.
My latest room is just under 4x5 meters and I have my 4 Pis in front of bookcases on the short wall, toed in toward my listening chair which is almost up against the rear wall.
That leaves plenty of time/distance for the sound to coalesce with 1 caveat: the speakers need to be raised up about 10".
Other than that, everything else is a matter of opinion. I think the 4Pis are as good as it gets, the $20,000 Audio Notes I heard in Lima were 'nice' and every Fostex, including those I built, sound like an AM radio (except for Bob Brines which don't have enough dynamics for me and my flea watt amps).
Here's a new pic away from those pine walls and looking a lot less orange:
