RE: Would this work?

Must admit, I've tried all kind of weird stuff with set-up's but never diagonal, but why not? you can still create a symmetrical situation for back firing energy and improve reflections(waves won't bounce straight back as in a standard situation) at the same time.

Seated close is the only way to go, has so many advantages, one being that you're actually listening to your speakers instead of the room! and of course you place by listening, you can measure all day but in the end it's your ears that have the last word on positioning, nothing amateurish about that at all.

You can always check your final positioning with a mono recording, and not just a voice or single instrument but multi instrumental, sit yourself dead centre and dial the speakers in to the point that all players are crammed together in the tightest centre image possible, your centre image should be no more than a foot wide.
