Diagonal set up is good. Avoids a lot of problems for me (12x16x10) and as a bonus I ended up with a bunch of bookcases etc as sound traps.
Near field is good. A 6 or 7 foot triangle will give you a bit of space to get the speakers away from the walls and you can get a great image and lots of SPL if thats what you like. Obviously going to be a whole lot more problematic if they are rear ported and big. Doubtful that you are going to have any big bass problems - no room for the waves to get going. Assuming some carpet and furniture you may want to put some treatments in the corners - I did a little foam. Irregular surfaces are the key - bookshelves etc all work.
Nice comfortable place free of distractions is really good. Plus if you stay away from the TV, you avoid the temptation to turn your 2 channel system into a HT system. Better yet you get to build a HT system too!
See, its all good!
