Help me position my speakers in a crazy room!

Hi folks,
I'm currently toying with shifting furniture to create a better soundstage, but my room is really, really unusual.
My room is giant L. The main sitting area is 14' wide and 17' deep. The *back* 8' of the room has a ceiling height of 8' at which point the ceiling shoots straight up (no slope) to 18' for the front 9'. If you had your back to the front wall with the high ceiling right above you, the right side of the room is completely covered with windows, except for a fireplace in the middle. To your left, the room continues for another 15', but is only around 10' deep. See link with more pics.
I have hardwood floors and most walls are uncovered (will definitely consider room treatments).
So, can you help out a fellow audio buddy by recommending the best place to put two speakers? I'll toy with the furniture afterwards :)
