We bought our house a few months ago, the layout really sucks as far as home theater possibilities. I have an Onkyo 7.1 setup but I dont see any way I will use all 7 channels, I have the 2 fronts next to the TV, the center is under the TV, sub is behind it. My problem is the surround speakers, I guess I will put one behind the top of the couch by the part wall (farthest end from the window) and one on the wall by the lighswitch? Anyone have a better idea? Im hoping for at least some surround speakers but I dont plan on using all 4.

They make Lamps with wireless surround speakers built in. I think my cost is about $200ea. Might be an option.

Center the tv on the red wall, take it out of the corner. I realize youll lose a couch or loveseat but that will make that room a lot bigger. After that, you have the perfect layout for a 5.1 system. Also, get a wall mount and get rid of the stand, that will make the room bigger too.

I kinda like that idea but then where do I put the DVR, the home theater, the wii and the VCR? What about the center channel speaker?

you can mount the center channel under the tv on the wall, should have a spot to put screws in it. The other stuff you can keep in the stand, the tv higher on the wall will make the room look bigger.

Is your basement finished? I see that you have vaulted ceilings, Just install the wires in the wall and you dont need wireless. Mount the tv on the wall, run your cords in the wall along the joists and up the corner. Smaller stand for the av gear and place the sub under the end table.
