I'm not able to move the fronts closer to the TV with the current setup, as that would put the FL underneath the dart board.

My only alternative to getting the fronts closer, would be to swap the location of the couch/tv as I think I'm leaning towards, but then my fronts would be directly on each side of the TV.

The only other alternative to *that* would be to swap the couch/tv, put the FL where the current SR speaker is, and move the FR a bit away from the TV. However that would leave my front soundstage with having one speaker distinctly higher than the other, and I can't envision that being a good thing.
Personally, I would rather have the speaker where it sounded good and not be playing darts next to my nice TV. The Dartboard should be moved. Put it where your guitar hangs now.

I also have to agree with Sonnie on 7.1. I think you should stick with 5.1.
