Setting up speakers 45 degrees from sidewalls

I am interested in the pros and cons of setting up my speakers so that I am looking straight at a corner from my listening chair about 12 feet away. There is no "rear" or "side" wall in the conventional sense. The speakers would be about 30" from any wall. The room is large (20x24 with 12x15 opening on the left and openings on the right). Ceilings are multi slanted and average 12.5 feet in height.
Whenever I try to talk to dealers about this their eyes cross. Thoughts?

I don't know if this is relevant or not , but I have mine setup that way and do not get much soundstage depth or width .
I am in a small square room , 12'X12' with 8' ceilings . I did this so as to not get any of the nasties associated with square rooms . In that respect it works . But my soundstage mainly collapses to the corner . Most everything is in the middle and never exceeds the width of the speakers . A trade off , as is most everything .

Good luck .
