Odd Room shape speaker placement help

[jsun1855]

I just bought a Athena Micra 6.1 system and am having trouble deciding where to place the speakers in my room. Can anyone offer suggestions about where to place the left and right front and surround speakers?

How about this (see images),
Option 1
----------
This way your TV will still be viewable from the chair, but surround effects will be only for the seating on Sofa. If wiring etc is a problem just swap places between the sofa and TV(along with the speakers).

Option 2
---------
A better option in my opinion, you can even move the sofa backwards(from what is shown) along the surround speakers, even beyond the pillar and see the practicality and effects.

Also a lot depends on your wiring and other furniture setup and if you can redo them and ofcourse the room size.
