This looks more like something that could be described as Pete’s new project.
A deconstructed and improved take on the Paragon theme??

Back to the original topic for a while. My listening room is roughly the same shape as @Spenagio’s. Typically I have my speakers at the mouth of bay window firing down the length of the room like this:
I have in the past had them firing across the room. There are two problems with this (i) the chimney gets in the way of the ‘image’ and (ii) mahoosively overblown bass. Once in a while I set the room up that way and it is a dub reggae and electronica fiesta. I suspect that anything wall mounted in the alcoves is just going to sound horrible because of the thin image and bloated bass (or leaden footed flub from small speakers)
When we first moved into this house I was using a set of half-decent (oxy-moron alert) monitor audio speakers on stands in the bay. There was no bass worth mentioning. What there was though, was pin sharp imaging and tremendous speed of response (driven by a Gato DIA 250). When the ARTs arrived I was a bit worried I had made a mistake until they warmed up a bit.
In short, stand mounted speakers in the bay is the way to go. It is a compromise, but then so is life. Get that extension built.

Why thank you. 
The footstool was a gift from a now departed friend. It was recovered due to an excess of dog/baby related incidents.
The current state of play:
I bought the house for this room. I don’t share it with a TV. It is a place of work and rest.

I take it back you lucky bastard 
great room
It’s in the rong position. It will be subject to sympathetic vibrations. You’ll be degrading the tone from the sound board.
Other top tip. Show her the speakers but don’t set them up. ‘Look how small they are, my Love’ (
) When you put them on the stands (don’t show her them!) make sure she is out. Strategic placement of pot plants is good too.
She wants shutters at the bay like yours too. Bang goes the Boenicke budget.
I need to just grow a pair and surprise her. Anyone got a spare room?
