21' 13' room: long wall vs. short wall placement

I know there is only one real way to find out but do you think I would have success setting my system up the long wall and sacrificing the distance behind speakers - that is so important with Avalon?
Given the furniture and cabling to rearrange, I would first like a consensus from those who tried and succeeded that way.

I have a 27 by 15 room (actually a few feet narrower in a few closet nitches). The long wall setup avoids the strong sidewall echo. You may have to treat the wall behind your listening area, I used echobuster panels. Check for slap echo by clapping your hands in the room.
