Nsgarch, I respectfully disagree with your statement. Based on extensive diagonal set-up experience vs traditional in a 11*13 room with 3 different monitors and 2 slim floorstanders, I was able to achieve tighter bass, cleaner midrange, fewer 100-200Hz abnormal responses every time...I currently have speakers 7ft apart and only 1ft from wall. It actually reduced the need for room treatment as far as I am concerned.
Each room differ but I am fairly confident that diagonal set-up is a bonus for small acoustically challenged room - especially when square or near square.
