This room is 20x12, i will be running a rotel rsx 1056 with paradigm studios all around. the wall is 6 ft high until the angled ceiling. Im wondering how this will affect accoustics. I could set the room up with the TV and center and fronts where the window is, or perpindicular to that, which would be easier since my ADP 470 rears hang on the wall. I would have to buy stands otherwise. This is a house we are looking at buying. So how will this room affect accoustics, and which would be the best way to set it up?

I don't think the ceiling will be as much a problem as the 20 x 12 x 8 room dimensions. A room is part of the equipment and a room with your dimensions will not have sound as good as a room 19 x 12 x 7 or 19 x 11 x 8. WHY? Rooms that have dimensions that are divisible by each other have worse sound because the sound can cancel each other out as a room that is odd will not have this problem.
Check out this link which provides a spreadsheet to help calculate your room.

Generally work well as a descriptor of room acoustics in an acoustically hard room. In this instance, both sound level and reverberation time are largely dependent on the total sound absorption in the room. If you know the reverberation time and the power of the sound being emitted from the source, the sound level in the room can be calculated. However, the acoustically hard room is very rare in the real world.

Sound absorbtion panels will help with the room sound. Something like this or Google sound absorbtion.
