before I buy anything, I am still trying to visualize the speaker placement. The sub is easy (corner of the room), center on top of tv (sony 40"), QS4 behind each end of couch.

The left and right speakers are more tricky, though.

My tv is in a media nitch. I don't think I have enough space on each side for the speakers on the stands (7" each side clearance). Also, on the left side of the nitch is my fireplace.

I guess my options are:

- put left, right and center on top of tv
- pull tv slightly out of nitch and place stands next to it
- put left speaker on left side of fireplace (sorry about the wiring), and put more power to that speaker
- somehow mount the speakers to the wall, on on the front right side of the fireplace, the other on the front right side of the media nitch (not sure how that would look)
