Very good to hear; I'll go with that setup for the center, then.

This is something that's actually been worrying me a bit. I think I'll be fine technically, but it's tight -- I'll have about 14-16" of clearence between the edge of the screen and the right wall (or an open entrange/hallway on the left), and there'll likely also be the far wing of a sectional couch pressing in towards the front of the right main (although this depends a lot on the size couch I get and how far back from the screen I can place it). Perhaps I should do a mockup as you suggest to get a better idea.

Yeah, I'm probably quite overthinking this ;-) Setting up an entire system from scratch -- my first real HT system, to boot -- can be a daunting task. I have a feeling that once it's all assembled, all these niggling details worrying at me now will blend into the background.
