I think I'm ready to go on this. I attached a diagram of my family room for reference. The red areas are not usable space for wall mounted speakers. The green diamonds are the front and left bookshelf/floor standing speaker locations and the green arrow is the center speaker. There doesn't seem...

I'm really having trouble with the whole design. I will post a room diagram to get some ideas. Is this the best forum for that type of advice?
