I plan to then move my RC-30's to surround duty to replace my RC-10's and then prolly take those RC-10's and use them in a desktop setup. Lol... so anyway, my question is with the way I have my RC-10's as surrounds now in these pictures below...

As you can see they are slightly behind and above me from my couch. Since the RC-30's are floor standers would I be doing a dis-service to the surround effects if I move one of them where my cd rack is and the other right next to the dresser? Moving the RC-30's to those positions would put the height right at the bottom of where the RC-10's are now. So, they would be lower and possibly partially obstructed. I could move them directly to the sides so they are not behind me but from what I've read you want your surrounds elevated and a little behind you. I thought about maybe putting the RC-30's on a 1 foot high platform to get them as high up as my RC-10's now but I'm unsure. Any opinions or thoughts on this?

Thanks!

But the issue is that the current media cabinet does not have sufficient room to house the LCR- is it possible to place the TV on the LCR? Will it be able to withstand the weight? Anyone have any pics to share who have it in this set up?

In other words, the "good" of upgrading surrounds from 10's to 30's is outweighed by the "bad" of having your surrounds be lower in height and partially obstructed.

Personally, I would probably just stick with the 10's as surrounds since they are pretty ideally placed right now for movies, and sell off the RC-30's to defray the cost of the 70's.

That said, you can always TRY it yourself and see how it sounds! Put the 30's there and try them out and see if they become more directional/distracting vs. the 10's. My comments are theoretical but you will have the opportunity to try it for yourself in real practice!

Would this be a good package for home theater usage (movies and gaming, no music) in a small room?

it was more about (1) the lower tweeter height, (2) the partial obstruction and (3) the fact that the surrounds might be too close. In terms of the angle itself, both are within the specs of "ideal" angle for side surrounds.

I wouldn't angle the RC-10's down in your situation, they aren't high enough to justify that. The reason you want them a little higher for movie surrounds is so that the tweeter isn't firing directly in your ear, making them a little less distracting/directional... yours look like they are at an ideal height. If you had them mounted way high up on the wall then I would want to angle them down but not only 1-2ft or so above ear level.
