Well guys after 3 months in the new house I finally got my set up together. Thanks to everyone here who helped from speaker selection and placement to movie recommendations and sub calibrations. I have learned a lot here . Please click on my signature and let me know what you think. :)

lookin good man but I would have flush mounted the rears. There is no need to angle the lsi/fx's down like you did. They have 2 key holes on the back and if you use a heavy #10 anchor , you could have used 1 keyhole.
To make the front end , you need some wire management.

Awesome, looks cool.

Don't all those hard surfaces wreak havoc with your acoustics though?

Thanks guys! :D I did try flush mounting the side surrounds and every little angle before deciding on hanging them the way they are now.They just sounded the best like that. Flush mounted ,they just did not integrate with the soundfield of the other speakers well. Now they rock! My biggest challenge was the sheer size of the room (12'X 42') but the HT half fills up beautifully with great theater sound and the SVS shakes the whole house. The long narrow shape of the room just screamed 'pool table'. Glad you guys like it. :p HERE (http://www.villagephotos.com/members/album.asp?folder_id=1344987) is what the room looked like before -as the previous owners showed it anyway.

I do need to get the wires under control. I was just so excited to get it up and running and take pics. That's on the to do list today..or tomorrow..You can't see them under normal lighting conditions (The flash is evil) but I know it is important.

As far as the acoustics and the hard surfaces that was a challenge too. The area rug and the furnishings seemed to have taken pretty good care of it. The 'clap test' is satisfactory for me now. I also put an Auralex 2' X4' fiberglass tile on the ceiling for the center speaker reflections and I have no problem. Dialogue is crisp and clear. I tried some Auralex treatments on the side walls for the fronts but I prefer the sound without them there for HT.
