NEW SMALLER LISTENING ROOM - WHAT AM I NOT THINKING OF...???

Only way to do so is place them on longer wall, shifted to one side, such that the distance to sidewalls is different.
Another way is with an across the corner diagonal setup. I've done this in a few rooms, with good success. Photo below is my current room -- very large, partial cathedral ceilings, open layout into DR and kitch. I tried the speakers setup traditionally on window wall and wall you see to the right. Wall to left (not in pic) is possible but it has big double doors out to porch -- not good from a living standpoint -- so I didn't try it.
Sounds best this way. Just experiment and use your ears.

I'll second on the corner diagonal setup. I too have had good luck, sometimes making the diagonal not perfectly lined up into the corner. By skewing the angle into the corner I've been able on some occasions to combat the imaging shifting off to the side due to a window or nearby wall. With a diagonal placement and some acoustic treatments I was able to get a bedroom to sound delightfully good, far beyond my expectations.

Bill, They should be symmetrical to the room, side and back walls especially. See website for Acoustic Fields

I really enjoy watching Dennis Foley’s videos and am learning a lot.
