A few ideas: (1) the 6.1 idea seems pretty good if you can't get a better plan. (2) Consider putting the RS on ceiling mounts to avoid all the issues you are having. With high ceilings and matching color, you would not notice them much. You could also do a false wood beam across the ceiling at that line to give the little Q's a home while giving a visual separation between the kitchen and the HT. you could also consider good in-ceiling speakers at that point. They are not preferred, and they are not Axiom, but given your Axiom system I don't mind offering that they can work very well, especially when you have 5.1 covered. (3) you should center the new L/R speakers so that each is equidistant from the boundaries (i.e., walls and shelf) as the other. That will keep the image clear and centered as the time of the reflections will be equal and bass reinforcement will likewise be equal.

Edit: never mind, looks like you got that already. Slow on the keyboard today.
