I would be more concerned with moving the center channel out of the stand. I would place it on top of it and mount the display above it on the wall. The center channel provides a lot more information during a movie than just about any other speaker. Its placement is the most important, or just as important as subwoofer placement.

I would be willing to move the entire front stage right to give the left speaker more breathing room. Then, I would claim the right side of the couch as mine!!!! 

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. Those are some nice speakers and I like the low profile stand.

WOW! very nice clean up dude, looks a million bucks on your last photo, no offence. but yeah looks heaps better and i bet it sounds better too with the clean up often if my viewing area gets messy with stuff everywhere it doesnt have quiet the same feel as when its tidy. as for your sub "the inverted woofer i have never heard one like that but i cant see how it would be a benifit in HT, i know some car stereos have it like that but its normally in a boot or trunk or a confind space, i think you would not know yourself if you get a good HT sub like my sub 12, the difference would be massive, you already have sweet speakers so why not finish it off with a sweet sub. good luck man.

 Thanks :) it's a lot more enjoyable cleaned up, and I really like how the stand "encapsulates" the area, but I have a 6 year old, and two cats, so some chaos is an integral part of everyday life. I had to take the grills off because our kitten thinks they are fun to climb :( The sub...I know haha. It's inverted because it's not the original driver, the guy I got it from did that because it didn't quite fit in the enclosure. It really doesn't sound bad, but yea, once I can get the funds to replace it, it will be gone.

The TV is a DLP so it can't be wall mounted, well, I could build a shelf for it, and thought about it, but this was a better solution. The center is pointing right at my chest with nothing in the way when sitting on the couch, and the very front of it is just past the stand, so there's no weird reflections. Had I placed it above the TV it would have been very out of line with the L,R's and might have made for some weird pans.

Speakers eminate sound from their enclosures in all directions (primarily low frequencies), not just from the front. This is the reason it is always recommended to place speakers away from the walls and not in an enclosure, like an entertainment center. (i.e. kinda like singing in the shower, Not a natural sound produced) Speakers should also be placed as close to ear level as possible, as well.

Some good white papers at Harmon International on this and other speaker placement topics.

Hello Westcott,

Thanks for the helpful information.  Right now we had no choice other than to stuff all this great gear into a small room.  Hence the shoehorn fit.   When we move we are going to have a good professional engineer/installer us set things correctly in a reasonably sized  space. 

I appreciate your taking the time to point out where improvements could be made.  Although inadequately arranged, I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed my Klipsch speakers.  Shake

Well, I can't really call this a home theater, but it is my living room 'entertainment' center.

Berkline theater seats have arrived!!

selling my house and building a new one, so I wont really get to use them until I get it done. 

Thanks a ton for recommending acoustimac! I've been looking at different materials, designs etc...... And this really helped me out! Nathometheatre
