@redrabbit fiund them!
This first photo was the placement I had when I bought my piano.

After my first piano party, I realized that it had me sitting with my back to people, which I really disliked. Back then I regularly played with a violinist and with her there, and a few people and chairs, the layout just wasn’t working. I actually paid the piano movers to come back and relocate the piano to this layout. It was the best money I’ve ever spent! I was only motivated by the logistics of it, and the aesthetics of who it looked, and by wanting to not have my back to people. But after the piano was moved, it was like it was a totally different instrument acoustically. The sound filled the room in the most delightful way! And the bass really came alive. And it looked better too. And wa such nicers for piano gatherings.

In my case, with the second layout, not only did the piano open up toward the full length of the room, but also, at the opposite end of the piano were two doorways (without doors, so the space was always open). (I don’t count the front door, that was always closed). Those two doorways allowed the sound to roll out and not get trapped anywhere, giving the fullness and richness of the piano’s acoustics room to breath.
