I was curious about the sides because I have mine mounted slightly behind me. I've thought about moving them forward but then I'd have wires showing and I'd have to patch the walls in my new room.

Do you have an option of moving the couch forward a bit so the side surrounds are closer to the ideal position? I'm guessing if your sitting in the rocker it would be a much better experience than on the couch alone the back wall. The Q's are forgiving, but not sure that much. 
I used to have the couch right against the back wall and I just moved it up 2 feet the other day. I wish I had more room but it is what it is and I can only make the best of it.

NICE setup! I'm envious of your TV. How far back do you sit? (I know you answered that already somewhere but JP is late with my meds). Is that a 720P or 1080P set? What do I win?

No need to be envious of my TV...just go out and buy one yourself! They are much cheaper than when I purchased mine.
It's 720p. They didn't even have 1080p when I bought it. I was a relatively early adopter...not the bleeding edge mind you...but certainly the cutting edge. I have considered a 1080p setup but after watching a couple of them that my friends have, there is really very little visible difference between the two formats unless you are sitting really close to a big screen. If this is the case then the 1080p will look a little less grainy. But with a screen my size, which is 61", if you're back at least 7 feet then you cannot tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. Even with high-def images, whether from HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, or broadcast 1080i the image is stunning on 720p. Also, I have a rather large collection of DVD's that I have been gathering since they were first released and I do not want to spend the $$$$ to replace them all with a format that may or may not exist in a few years. I have an upconverting Oppo 971 DVD player and the images it produces are nearly as good as high-def...depending on the quality of the transfer from film to video.
The closest seat to my TV is a recliner that is about 10 feet back. The next closest is a glider-rocker that is about 12 feet back, and the couch is about 16 feet back. All seats have bass-shakers underneath also!
