A couple of thoughts
First the positioning of theater speakers for proper playback means 5 precisely positioned speakers, not 2. It's certainly easier to fake it with theater but to do it right means no faking it in position, delays and gains is not an option. Want to see hoe it should be done? Check out the Dolby Digital Production Pages.
Yvettes can easily disappear from a broad range of listening positions depending on what the room will allow. In my living room, they are 7-1/2 ft away from me. Moving my head is no issue at all. In fact you can move two or three feet. Think of walking across a hall in front of the stage. The performer stays centered but is less precise than when you are directly in front of them.
As always ymmv.
