Corner placement of stereo system


I have actively bi-amped, Krell driven B&W800's. I now have them placed along the long wall of a 25'X15' room.

To gain more space in the room for non-audio needs, I am considering reorienting the system so that it would be centered on one of the corners. The speakers would be unchanged in relation to themselves; but, they would be slightly closer to the rear wall, but the front plane would be much farther from the back corner.

Does anyone have any comments on what would be the sonic change.

Thank you,
Richard

I don't understand several points that have been stated by LTHKEEPR.
When I place a mirror along the wall that would be behind the speakers, the speakers are not seen because with the set-up the walls flare out with respect to the speakers/listening position, so I assume there would be virtually no 1st reflections and therefore little smearing of the imaging. Also, since the set up (speakers/listening position) is symetrical with respect to the corner and the both walls behind the speakers will be treated the same, why would the speakers have a different frequency response.

If I had a nice small system, I would just move things around a try it out; but with 250lb speakers and over 250lbs of amplifier, not to mention dedicted outlets that also will have to be moved, moving around my system is hugely difficult.

Also, BRTRITCH: What type of speakers do you use; big or little?

All comments are greatly appreciated!!!!!
