Tough room configuration

Greetings all.

Eternal battle between wife (aesthetics) and husband (function) rages on. While I have been able to talk the wife into spending the money to get quality components, we are down to the final pieces and I need some help.

She has dictated the placement of the TV and components (she's really hot, you'd give in too) and it's in the worst possible location for a home theater setup.

Also, while I did win the components battle (Sony KDL-46XBR10, Oppo BDP-83, Yamaha RX-Z11), I have lost the speakers battle.

Right now, I am leaning toward a system with Mirage OS3, CC3 and MM-8 drivers. A 7.2 (F/R subs) setup is what I am thinking.

In addition to having terrible dimensions, I also have a fully tiled house and sloping vaulted ceilings (10' in back of the room climbing to 12' in front).

Viewing area in an l-shaped couch in the back left corner of the room. TV is placed in the slanted area in the upper right.

Total area of the room is ~270 sq ft. Home Theater is the prime concern of this area, I have a separate set of speakers in another location for music.

Thanks all!

Yes, I know it's a terrible place for the TV to be. In fact, for the last 3 years, the TV and my old setup were against the long back/bottom wall.

The challenge I have now is how to make the position I work.

When I said "home theater is a prime concern", I was just saying that I had a separate setup for listening to music and this area was only for movies/TV.

I guess I'll go with the Mirage gear and hope the DSP in the Z11 is up to the challenge.

And, really, she's awfully hot...it's worth it. /

That's for a different forum after more drinks than I have had tonight!
