an overview of how ht systems are usually set-up.
as an installer of dedicated ht systems its been my experience that the positioning of the front l/r speakers are usually compromised greatly.
they are usually installed in some sort of large entertainment center that contains the monitor/c-channel/etc and the levels/imaging are adjusted for a best-possible-under-the-circumstances situation.
waf is usually a very large part of the equation.
it sounds like you have taken the time to set-up your system for best possible imaging/soundstage/etc for 2-channel and ht integration and this i assure you places you in a very small minority of ht system owners.
unless the ht is designed from the ground up for 2channel and ht the 2-channel system will not be optimal for both stereo and ht.
ive been doing medium$/high-end$ ht system installation for a few years now and this has been my experience.
i hope to soon start working again part-time for an outfit that does $85k average ht systems.
they are starting one soon that is 10k sq.ft. !!!
thats the size of the theatre and not the house !!!
the last system i worked on had over $50k in cabling alone !!
as far as your system goes it sounds like you have taken a great deal of time for set-up and there is no posible way to recommend any specific changes over the internet.
and of course the only result that matters is how the system sounds to your ears.
