Hi Ken,
Have you considered a set of the Axiom QSS stands? That way you don't have to drill any holes and you have the flexibility to do a bit of tweaking.

With almost 100% certainty, I can tell you that Ken's wife has vetoed stands.
Just noticed Ken's post above. Heh, told you!

With those stands, I'd say it's 160% likely. I've never found a stand that she liked. She dislikes the idea of "boxes on sticks" immensely.

Ok, work with me on this one. If I recall your room layout correctly, it's the left surround mounting that's the real problem, since there's a big window along the entire wall. You have a useful wall to the right of your couch, so that's not a problem. Am I correct so far? Good.
My idea for your left mounting involves placing a spring-tensioned or otherwise securely mounted vertical pole in the window area at a point where the cutains come together. Then attach a piece of scrap wood to the pole with a couple of U bolts. Then either mount the included T-bracket directly to the scrap wood or, for a more aesthetically pleasing look, mount an FMB or other bracket to the scrap wood which would allow you to poke the speaker through the gap between the closed curtains.
What do you think?

I think I'll probably ceiling mount them with FMBs.
I need to see how big they are; they might fit above the window. The other problem is I just hung something in front of/over the heater, right where I would normally put the right one.

But I just put in the hook, dear Liza. Besides, I'm hoping it'll spin in the hot air from the heater. (it's one of those decorative spinny things. It's cool...)
