Bleeding, Prof is right that you're going to have a lot of fun trying to set that place up to perform well acoustically. So many hard surfaces! Keep us up to date on your progress.

Re: the surround speakers, I find the further they are away from you the better (within reason). There's no need to place them exactly symmetrical, as your receiver will adjust for differing positions -- just have them in roughly the same plane as you work from front to back of the room.

As this setup is going to be so unpredictable, you might want to experiment with speaker placements once you get all your furniture in. Don't start installing wallplates until you're sure you know the best place for them!
