Hey guys, a theoretical question (on my part), though some of you may know in practice:
If you've clicked on the photo of my room you'll notice to open alcoves on back wall. One leads to a hallway and the other leads to the kitchen.
Now, imagine that I've made back wall my front wall, so that now my LP is with my back to the windows.
At almost a 45 degree angle in my room the ports of the speakers are now aimed towards the alcoves. In other words, there is no front wall that each speaker is directly in front of.
From there, in order to keep an equilateral triangle, my speakers must be 8ft apart, in order to keep the ports in "open air," which also increases my distance from the side walls, although each speaker is now not an equal distance from the side walls. Still, not only would the speakers no longer be firing into a square room, buy also those ports are "free" and not firing into a wall. I got the idea from here:

Unfortunately, my power went out in Houston, so I couldn't have a listen.
So, is this sound theory (pun intended) and/or do you think they'll sound good without worrying about bass traps behind the speakers?
