Subaruguru,
I, too, am a big believer in the equalateral triangle set up. Whether you set up along the long or short wall, is dependant on the type of speaker and such things as the size of the desired soundstage prefered. I like a big soundstage at a close perspective. I also sit 8th row center at the San Francisco symphony.
I use the big B&W800's along the long wall but sit at one point of an 8.5' triangle in a 15x25x8 room. The speakers have lots of room behind and to the side.
Unfortunately a set up like this takes up the entire room, with virtually no way to use it for anything else. I am lucky my wife lets me do this in our small house.
