I would get a pair of 80's that matched the room's decor and be done with it.
But that in itself is another problem. Where would you put them? You would need to slide the TV and stand to the right so that the one M80 isn't in front of the door, and then you have an even worse issue with the one on the right being blocked by the fireplace. Plus there is a bookcase there with doors that would get blocked.
As for the wires, they can be hidden in many ways. Maybe the white trim boards along the floor could be removed or the brown trim along the ceiling, which ever has more space behind it...
I agree that a run would help. There is a log of diffusion in the room, but possibly not enough absorption.
Aw, heck. Just put on a home addition where your patio is with no fireplace, no bookcases, hide the wires in the walls, and get the M80 fronts, VP180 center, QS8 surrounds, and a big ol' EP800 sub... only $4786.10 for the speakers... Or spend about $1800 - $2600 on one of the Epic Grand Master systems in the current room and be blown away!
