Room Acoustics and Speaker Placement

hey guys, thank you so much for all the comments and suggestions.  Definitely leaning towards option 2.  

hilde45 @jawfxr01  Here are some photos. they’re not perfect but hopefully gives you a idea. I have tried adding notes so you can understand the layout.  The wall to the left side of the speaker is where the TV would go.  The wall to the right of the speaker is basically the entrance to the Apartment.  

@OP The photos re helpful. Perhaps you could give consideration to relocating your dining area and placing the speakers on the wall in the picture that is marked "dining". The other two locations have very little width to accommodate speakers.

@yoyoyaya actually the photos are a bit deceptive. The width isn’t as bad as it appears.  The width of the wall where I’m planning to place the speakers should be at least 10 feet if not more. 
 

and to your idea about moving the speakers to the dining area, I did consider but my boss (Mrs) doesn’t want dining table to be the first thing people see when they enter.. it’s an argument I know I can’t win.. lol

Specific distances are needed to calculate reflection times.

@OP - Understood, thanks. (Mrs) probably won't be rushing to apply acoustic treatment but you will need some as the space is going to be very reflective otherwise.
