Default Best layout???

So I've been tweaking the setup the last few weeks (it never stops ) and I can't get satisfied with the layout on the front wall. Due to the goofy layout of the room I have one spot to put the TV and front sound stage. It's a wall that's 85.5". So with that I have to place a 47" TV stand 2 Monitor 60's (7" wide) and an 11" Onkyo HTiB sub I'm still using (that's the next upgrade)

That's 72" right there and the hard part is getting the speakers equal distances from the TV and keeping one 60 away from the side wall on the right and trying to keep the left 60 from sticking out past the back wall. You can see pics in my gallery of this wall and see what I'm trying to do.

I'm also trying to keep the sub out of the corner to avoid disturbing anyone above me, but if the 60 is in the corner it's bass in going to be boosted as well so I don't know what to do. Leave it as it? If I put the sub in the corner I can keep the speakers equal distances apart.

Any help!!!

Personally, I would look at moving your TV and stuff to where you currently have the chaise lounge and rotate your entire room 90 degrees. Am I missing something as to why you cannot put the TV there?

There are a few reasons but the biggest is the couch placement then. The kitchen is directly behind the wall where you see my media collection. The front door is also along the wall with the chaise lounge is and to center up the couch to the tv the couch would basically block the entrance to the kitchen.

The satellite outlet is also behind the media collection so I would have to find a way to hide the coaxial cable on the hardwood. That's the issue, the wall I have is the only one that's suitable for everything.

I did just a few minutes ago move the stand and all down a few inches and that evened up the distance between speakers and the monitor 60 has about 6" from the side wall. I know that's not optimal but it's about all I can do.
