My HT setup is almost exactly the way you have proposed. It sounds great. There is a little loss of some surround from the rears just as in a theater, depending on the sitting position. If you are in the sweet spot it sounds awesome. I added the 6th channel just to move my right surround to your proposed spot just to open up the rear surround space and it worked out great. It appears to have made the sweet spot a little larger. Try it out and see if you like it that way before you hard wire everything. Just leave the wires slightly exposed for a while. Then try it in a different way. Don't you just love HT setups!
