spiff,

i dont think you will be going wrong with any of those set-ups.. i think it is a somewhat ambitious idea to have all the components in the back of the room, but if there is one thing i have learned in here, its that it is all about what YOU prefer.. i personally like the look of the cabinet in idea 2, but i wont be living in your house

congrats on the new 'soon to be move' and i hope it is an easy transition. BTW, on your prior posts, listing the things that make you you, i didnt see anything about moving furniture maybe that will make your list now..
