Y being about 83% of X

I've never done linear measurements and ratio calculations, but I sit about 11' back from the speaker plane, and the speakers are about 9.5' apart at tweeter center.

"I personally do not want to give up a measure of warmth, presence, and tonal density to achieve pin-point imaging."

I could not agree more, especially on presence. When I try greater separation to gain more air between instruments, I always end up going back to the closer spacing for your above-mentioned reasons. And contrary to some beliefs, sharper toe-in will not make up for the speakers being too far apart, IMO.
