How can I set up my speakers to get the best overall sound in this space? (Picture in link at the bottom)

There are not 2 tvs in this room, I just have not decided in which space it will go.

The speakers I have are:
Center - axiom vp100 v2
Fronts - axiom M22 v2
Surrounds - axiom Qs8
subwoofer - will be either axiom ep175 or ep350 in the future.

Also thinking of going with an emotiva upa-7 or xpa-5 amp. any thoughts in amp purchase would be much appreciated.

Is there a reason why you can't have the tv set-up on the 16-1/2' wall with you back to the fireplace? You could have two spaces, one for the HT and another to sit around the fireplace. Just my one cent worth suggestion \:\)

I think the best use might be to have the TV on the 9ft section and one M22 on either side of it and then a QS above each sofa.

I would go with the EP350 and the XPA-5.

The furniture will be to big for the space (Pic drawn to scale). Also other half doesn't like that arrangement

Is the doorway by the recliner with or without a door and what is the length of the wall with the fireplace on it?

Is that a flat screen TV, any chance of mounting it above the fireplace? I know this is generally frowned upon but sometimes it just works better for everything else.

So if I understand correctly, you only have 2 options for tv placement because the furniture stays where it is.
