System set up in front of corner Vs flat wall - acoustical issues?


The room size is about 22 x 16 and because of lay out I'm considering having a corner of room be the backdrop of the system.  It's a combo home theater/ two channel listening environment.

Each shorter side of the room has either a window or a French door exit, so it's difficult to put the system along the shorter walls which would be a lot better. Putting system in the middle of the longer wall presents a challenge for seating environment. Too much space on each side of this rectangle room.

I haven't seen any systems with main speakers set in front of a corner. It would seem to be a more comfortable layout but I wonder what the acoustical challenges might be.

Lots of systems u see speakers maybe 2 feet from the walls and then some room u see them coming out 8 feet from the walls.
I guess there’s a lot to be said byreally pulling out the speakers if your room can handle it

The backdrop of the system is the corner. Behind the rack and the two main speakers on each side is the corner of the room.  Angling out the system to the rest of the room from the corner may be a few degrees toward the center of the room but pretty much it's going to be based from the corner.
