I have finally convinced the wife to swap out our leather couch and love seat for a dedicated home theater sectional. I would like to get a unit that can accommodate 4 people in total as that always seems to be the viewer count. We have a width restriction of 14.5 feet (wall to wall) but I would actually need something narrower as I need access to the back of the room for Blu-ray and DVD storage. We have looked at both curved sectionals and straight sectionals from Palliser furniture and La-Z-Boy and I think either configuration would work great. Does anyone have any suggestions for specific brands or models? Here's our current room layout minus the furniture: Thanks, Zak

Hi Zak, I purchased 2 rows of the Palliser Garrich HT seats in a straight row configuration with the power recline. They seem to be of pretty good quality. I'd go with the straight row configuration if you are worried about space. The straight configuration is narrower. You can view my setup here http://www.axiomaudio.com/images/kellerht.jpg

I am also limited in the "W" direction. Check out Berkline "088" series seating. Apparently it has been renamed "45088" now. Berkline 45088 schematics

We bought Palliser a year or so ago, and have been really happy with it, Orlando collection I believe. We were restricted on width too, couldn't go quite 4 seats, but the Orlando had oversized seats so we did a loveseat section, wedge, single chair. The love seat section is big enough for 3 if needed. We've been happy with them, I have no qualms on recommending them. If you're tight for space, you may want to consider taking out the middle wedge and make the center a loveseat section, it would save a little space. Good luck.

If I were to do it over again, I would have put a loveseat section in my front row center to be able to lay to the side if wanted. Also, from looking at your schematic, I would recommend bringing the surrounds up to the forward of the room a bit (maybe to the window). Due to my space limitations, my surround/rear layout is similar to yours, and I would have loved my surrounds up forward 2-3 feet more.

I wouldn't move those up unless the seating is moved up too. I have had QS8's in front of my seating and behind, and they sound better when they are behind you.
