Could you mount the TV on the chimney breast and then have the speakers either side of it, your couch on the opposite wall facing it?

Great if it works but very often the angle is too high. Could you really stare at that spot comfortably for more than an hour or two? If you can sit well back it's probably ok but if you're raising your chin you'll find it tiring.

That is how I have it at the moment. It works fine for surround sound but not for stereo. Now the wife has spoken and we agreed that this is the best setup. The stereo will be in one end and HT across with the PMC DB1+ as fronts mounted in the "alcoves".

We are still not sure about the couch and we are looking for a good (not too expensive) furniture shop that is NOT IKEA or BoConcept.....

Thanks for your help guys!
