I'm not sure I've seen a discussion here specifically on this subject. I have a multipurpose room where the location of doors and windows makes a typical setup difficult and pretty unworkable with the entry/exit flow of the room. A rough sketch of the speakers and seating are shown below (speakers are front-ported so I've got them pretty close to walls/doors; I may treat surfaces behind them). Since the room is 16' x 20' I have the problem where this diagonal setup creates asymmetry, which I have to live with. Maybe I will try room correction to deal with that.
My real question is more general: is there any inherent problem with a diagonal setup? If the room were square, or if I were to treat walls and/or or add panels to make reflections more symmetrical would diagonals still present a problem?
