Another suggestion:
Is that a spool of coax cable coming out of the wall to the left of the single window? Why not put the TV to the left of the single window near the cable (or drape [or blackout] the window and put the TV in front of it)? Then you have more of a dead on angle to the TV...speakers can be to the left and right of the TV (or one to the right of the fireplace) with center above or below the TV...QS8's on the side walls about two thirds of the way back...start with 5.1 and then add the two rears later if you desire.
This would still accomodate the seating arrangement with the love seat as primary seating area and the long couch in front of the three windows.
This would eliminate the unusual angle for the TV as well as help to eliminate the reflections from the ceiling. Not to mention if you actually use the fireplace, heat still rises...Not sure if I would want to risk a 60" TV above a fireplace...
Just another idea...
