Awesome looking setup Michael!
I’m not sure how regular recliners will affect the sound if blocking the line of sight but for the first time the other day I pulled out my old futon to put in front of my regular seats so I could fit 6 people and that thing made the dialogue for the second row unintelligible with only one center on the ground, so I had to switch to folding chairs. Now that thing is a sonic black hole.
I have however realized that if I want to ever set up two rows I will have to mount a second center above my screen and if I do that I’m so going to hand my mains from the ceiling like in the picture Rick posted. I might also try my extra M22s up there on their sides. Though I had some pretty bad interference patters in my apartment when I tried that I was also only 6-8 rather than 12-15 feet away and no real options as to how far apart to put them.
