I could get a second set of MC1's as the center on either side of the screen. That would mean 4 MC1's across the front of the room which might look strange. I like the idea of getting the wife closer though, maybe I should use the 2 without the center.

How do your MC1's compare to the your 1.6QRs is there a huge difference in sound or is more of a subtle difference? Getting the wife to go for the 1.6's is going to be a harder sell than the MC1's. Wow, if you can get your wife to buy off on the 20.1R's you are going to have to let me in on your secret.
