I'm surprised you are able to get great sound with the Nanos that far apart.  Neither mine, nor my friend's, work well if there is more than 9 feet between their inner corners.  I would suggest you try moving them closer together - you might not know what you've been missing.  Avantgarde also recommends it.  Setting the speakers up in the room correctly is much more important than room treatments, in my experience.  Good luck!
