Very nice!

It looks like you have quite a large room. Now I see why you needed another sub

yup. it is. I have not even included the oversized sofas in the picture. and not to mention that the ceiling is like 20' or so.

Thats the size of the room!

If I were you, I'd start saving for another subwoofer, and a big one too. I use a larger sub then yours in a 16x12x8 room!

you should move your front left and right speakers forward.

I had them forward.....just trying them in this position. Quite a different sound stage is generated during movies.....u should try it sometimes.....in my opinion, I am getting a wider sound stage with this placement.
