21' 13' room: long wall vs. short wall placement

I know there is only one real way to find out but do you think I would have success setting my system up the long wall and sacrificing the distance behind speakers - that is so important with Avalon?
Given the furniture and cabling to rearrange, I would first like a consensus from those who tried and succeeded that way.

I usually prefer long wall placement when it's a real option.

I have a 13 foot by 21 foot room and have the speakers on the short wall about 5 and a half feet from the rear wall and around 21 inches from the side walls. It's interesting that every speaker I have tryed sounds the best in this position.

I have found that with big speakers (I have tried Cello's and my present B&W800's) and the long wall wins big time.

My room is 15X25.
