Any ideas regarding Diagonal room set up?


For WAF reasons, I've placed our TV screen to face diagonally out of a corner of our 20' x 22' room with our sofa sitting about 9 feet away from the TV. Our speakers are on either side of the TV, spread about 6 feet apart. They are a foot out from the walls and can either be toed-in to aim at the center of the sofa or aimed straight ahead. I'm sure these angles totally disrupt all the experts' theories about reflected sound. But imaging is decent and bass is neither boomy nor lean. I'm sure many have tried this "diamond configuration" - but I saw no prior threads. Who has experienced this diagonal type of room setup? With what pros & cons? Any ideas for best 2-channel sound with music? Please don't tell me to get a different room or a divorce. Thanks!

go look at my system as posted on 'Ever Evolving'...I have same situation as you describe; and I feel the sound is pretty good; with nice staging; depth and detail. Very good base response; the left side of my room is a bit brighter than the right; due to reflections from windows; but the throw pillows help. I also have pretty high quality gear, and power. I have my subwoofer hidden behind the gear, and it works well; with out too much boominess from being corner loaded.
I did need to experiment with toe in; and have my speakers turned in around 6-7 degrees from being square; and focused on the 'sweet spot' listening position...for HT use; the sweet spot is not so important; but a AV processor with room correction is...good luck
