45 degree placement in squarish room?

No, in my case, they are not even close to equidistantand the orientation is more like 25-30 degrees than 45 and the right speaker is about 4-5 feet out to the right from the corner and the left about 3-4 feet out to the right of teh corner to the left with teh two speakers about 7 feet or so apart. My listening position is about 4-5 feet back from the speakers near the rear wall. Yes, use your ears to determine what works best.

Thanks! I'm finding for my room, after all these years, is that this position is yielding the best results ever...I would have thought this the craziest situation in the past. Until you hear it, live and learn, I'd say...

Verdict in....best sound I've ever had here at the house. So, maybe the room is 50-60% of the sound after all?
thanks for the encouragement.

I think it is more than that.

"So, maybe the room is 50-60% of the sound after all?"

Whatever the number I believe it is high enough that it always pays to make it the primary thing to always keep under consideration.
