You will be listening in a near-field setup, since many full-range speakers need to be pulled forward from the front wall for best imaging.
You'll need some type of acoustic treatments that will fit aesthetically in a living room. For instance, I have a tapestry on the wall behind me, drapes for the window, large oriental rug and some comfy furniture to absorb and diffuse standing waves. Also, as stated above, you most likely will need to control the bass.
