Get some speaker stands. I know space is ridiculously tight in there but if you were to get stands with a minimal footprint you could pull them out for a listening session & then put them back near your tv when you're done. Moving the speakers away from room boundaries will add a ton of clarity to images & spaciousness to your soundstage.
The Nova looks like a great piece, I own a Peachtree Decco and use it as the heart of my computer system.
These ones look ideal; they're sand fillable, all metal construction, carpet spikes, 24" height, small footprint & are only $49/pair...
