M, i have the same receiver running 60's. mine are about 9 to 10 feet apart and about 12" from the wall. if you have not "sized" the speakers, that may be an issue. i too have mine toed in slightly. i set mine to small and use a sub with music and movies, and love them. as others have said, they or your ears will calm down slightly in a few days. play a well recorded cd in about 4 days, and crank those mothahs (that's massachusetts for mothers), and i'll bet a dime they sound great.
