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?

No reason why it should not work fine - you may find you get less but more even bass with this configuration. Try to stay away from the exact middle of a square room (37% of a length is recommended in most cases) You may need to treat the walls behind your listening position with absorption/diffusion at first reflection points (which are now behind you).
