You're adding to the scope of changes you want! No problem in that of course....8^)
AL's correct in that the TV set between the speskers os not really good. The way I like to set up things if the TV set is inevitable, is to imagine a plane running across the front of each speaker's face. The point of intersection should be forward of the TV set.Dampening the TV set will still help though.

Since your room is relatively small, it would be helpful to really remove the coffee table, before pulling out the speakers. As AL also points out the uper corners of the room are usually a source of many issues. The meeting of the two walls and the ceiling forms a sort of 'megaphone' where sound enters and gets reflected out with increased intensity. The solution is simple: emulating the Corner Tunes from Mike Greene, simply use some painters' masking tape and tape a triangle of cardboard, about 8 inches or so on each side up into the corners. This will reduce the high frequency ringing. If you like the effect, you can use a piece of drywall, mud it in, and achieve the same effect but be visually more aesthetic.

There's a lot of things you ca do without spending a ton of money.
