…at least 13 different opinions :-)I'm with Mark on the long wall setup. Also, take a look in the FAQ for the Audio Physic setup instructions. You can move the speakers out from the long wall and place the listening position hard against the opposite wall.
There is some argument on whether or not you will get problem comb filtering from reflections from the wall behind you if you're that close to it but I haven't noticed any problems. If you notice anything or are concerned, stick some sort of sound absorbent cushion or wall panel behind your head.
I've managed in a long wall setup in a room with a short wall of 11' and a long wall of around 22'. THe listening area was down one end, occupying half of the room with the other half being a dining area. Even though it was a very asymmetric layout, the long wall placement was necessary because of restrictions on speaker placement due to doorways and traffic flow problems that ruled out a short wall placement at either end of the room. As far as the sound went, it worked fine. I did have to use a bit of room treatment to break up a much stronger reflection on one side than the other which tended to shift the centre image a little to one side but that was really the only issue that I ended up considering a genuine negative in the setup.
