Jim, with what you described relative to your unique room geography, I'd urge you to call the folks at Axiom. They can really help you dial in the choice and placement of your speakers. If you can fax them or post a drawing of the room, it would be helpful too. They are the real experts, we just play experts on TV.

Another thing you may want to consider is what the future holds. Are you planning to move to a place with a larger, smaller, different HT room in the next few years?

Jack - first pics of your newer set up. Looks much nicer than the original set up from the first pictures I saw. Very nice.
