If 90 degrees between the speakers works for you, fine. Most likely

that has been the "standard" setup in studios for more than 60
years. It didn't happen
when 5.1 came up. On the contrary, the working group that defined
the 5.1 setup,
started from a center channel and a good stereo image in front that
works for most
people.
As Dave Malham says, there must be AES papers where this 60 degrees
has been taken
from.
As you say: it goes back further than the AES: I would look at old
copies of Wireless World or Proc IEE/IRE!
We used approx. 60 degrees at Abbey Rd in the late 60s, largely
dictated by the size of the control rooms.
