Don't mean to hijack thread but I have a similar 'quandry'. I've got office furniture and a piano shoehorned in here too. Mine is basically ~13' square, so a skoch more room but still ...I see some suggestions for a diagonal setup, wondering if someone could comment on this? And of course could apply to the OP's setup. I haven't set up the system yet. Have Ikea shelf (4 wide, 2 tall) record rack along the one wall next to the desk.
Speakers are Triangle Tituses on 24" stands, shown as my preferred ~6' triangle nearfield listening arrangement. Thinking the sub could be in the corner, but if it's NOT centered on the window/wall or near/in a corner, maybe would be less prone to excite a room resonance.
I was initially thinking of a symmetrical setup like 'Option 2', My speakers cannot be set up astride the French doors as Rodney suggested ...
I'm thinking about getting the Primacoustic 'London 12' system room treatment kit as well.

It would be best to listen diagonally with the speakers obtaining the same symmetry at the room boundaries.. swinging your speakers about 120 degrees anti clockwise will do that , corner load your sub between the speakers.. you can turn its volume down and benefit from less distortion
Leaves you quite a bit of room to play with
Be careful of a shotgun approach to room treatment.. you need to identify what to treat and where.
I suggest either a software or hardware implementation of Dirac room correction to finish it off DSP has come a long way these days and there are some sterling solutions.

I have the same problem: Different wall reflections, and speaker reinforcement. The way I solved this was to search for speakers that imaged well, were placement friendly, could be pulled away from the walls to the maximum effect. (In fact, just one wall; the other is open!). Then i made sure to get a good preamp with 2 channel volume controls. Next came the fiddling.
Can you swap the sub and the rack location?
Sub in the middle of anything strikes me as a bad idea.
Square rooms are also problematic.
Too much is never enough
