I have always used 'short wall' setups in the different rooms I had, but I have no philisophical problems with the other setup.
I have the CARA CD too. Rives audio has some helpful setup info at their website. Check out http://www.rivesaudio.com if you want to try it.
I do disagree with the suggestion of pulling the speaker 1/2 way out into the room. I can't imagine a speaker or a room in which this would be a rational solution.
If you can do it, play with placement and see what you think.
