They are for the most part. I just prefer to listen nearfield. Ignore the taller towers as they were only to A/B and make sure I made the right choice with the Forte's. If I pull the speakers forward to where I like them and leave them, there's wire running from brick to toward listening position and that's the only way to enter this space. That couch on the right goes fairly far forward and then makes it awkward to get into he space if the speakers are closer as well.
Lastly 2 kids, 2 dogs.....
