Your living room is like my basement, as I have mine in my rectangular basement where 1/2 is mine (with the steps on the side wall) and the back 1/2 is my daughters play area, with nothing to seperate it. Sucks for sound quality, but you gotta make do, right? At least lighting wasn't an issue.
Yeah, I've looked at. I'm assimilating info from everywhere right now.

And you're exactly right about the similarities in the rooms, it would seem.

Good thing about it is (in a way) is that the room is such that I can't get all fancy with things, even if I want to. And anything that I try, if I don't like, is easily reversible.

The more I think about it, the more I sort of like the idea of the TV in front of the window with the seat backs up against the "dining area" -- gives the illusion of a "break" in the room between the one half and the other.

Two issues I'll have to figure out if I do it, though, are the cable hookup (currently in the wall I have TV against now) and rear speaker placement (though wiring won't be an issue). I may have to look at bookshelf speakers (and nothing else) if for no other reason than having a little end table on either side of the chairs back there won't look too shabby, and they'll fit perfectly on top of those.
