Unfortunately there is no simple formula or table, as it depends on the directivity (and size) of your speakers as well as the reflections from floor and walls. 2 or 3 db doesn't feel like a big difference, but in terms of actual acoustic energy it is, so the distance you would need to move the speaker will be significant. It will also disturb the temporal arrangement of the channels - sound from the speaker closer to you will arrive earlier, confusing/distorting the stereo image.
