The upside of this set up is a wide open space between the speakers with nothing to distract from the illusion of the musicians being in front of me.
The downside of this set up is a very long interconnect.
For those with the option of setting up your gear as you want, what choices have you made and what do you see as the trade-offs? I know many folks don't have the option given the system is also used for home theater or is a multiple use room and other considerations take priority.

Balanced cable runs are typically no problem. I've had to run over 25 feet of Transparent balanced without any sonic degradation that I could notice.
Let's not forget that microphone cables are typically much, much, longer and the fragile microphone signal has to travel as far as 300 feet in some cases.
