Hi Majik,
I think there are only a select few here who might have posted in the early hours of the am.
1. Can you explain exactly what you are trying to do with the window? Are you looking to permanently block it out or just have it blocked when the screen is over it and in use?
2. That's not a big room so no need for more M80s (unless they make you smile more
) Also, I think you have the right idea in going 5.1 vs. 7.1 or more in a room of that size. Adding rears would not add a lot from my experience in a 12x12 room.
My first instinct would be for M22 mains paired with an EP350. QS8s for optimal surrounds and if your budget allows, you might want to demo the new VP180 for a center. It's new and I've never heard it but I'd love to try one. It's huge and although you don't need the power, you might appreciate the clarity it promises. Otherwise, I'd go with the more easy to place, VP150.
