I know that they're going to have a very tight sound stage, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
If it's any consolation, mine are currently on the floor tilted upwards and definitely not part of any equilateral anything, and they do fine for general purposes. I don't do any mixing on them since I've been in my apartment, so they're just being glorified PC speakers anyway.
How far from your listening position are you planning to have them? Mine are only about 3 feet away on either side, but they project well enough at further distances and without any spacial issues I care about for the function they're providing, although I don't exactly give 'em much juice considering my circumstances.
