Suddenly, a rather large room feels a bit too claustrophobic. It must be tough squeezing through double doors that are only 5 inches wide! At least the proportions look better, and the "notch" seems to have been misplaced in the original diagram.

ryjam, it's hard to tell what's on that back wall where you have the rear speakers, but if there's no windows that would be blocked, I would consider placing the TV and front speakers flat against that wall (parallel to, NOT up against it).

Depending on the size of your side speakers, I'd try to place them as close to the stairs as possible. The rears would go on the other side of the stairs, on opposite sides of the wall, obviously.

What piece of furniture do you think would get the most use? The couch? The recliner?

Is it just you, you and your wife, or you, your wife and 8 kids who will be using the room the most?
