Upgrade advice for processor
No, I did not listen to both amps. My advice was not based on any negative experience with the MCA-50. It was based on my highly positive experience with the A5. I used the A5 for both music and movies for two years. It is an excellent product at ...

Meridian G68 or G61R

Dealing with a large TV between speakers
Since you cannot move your setup to a short wall, here are two more things to consider:1. Maybe you would have better luck with diffusion behind the listening position, rather than absorption, as indicated in your overhead plan. I have a friend wh... 
Dealing with a large TV between speakers
I agree with Shadorne that the principal problem lies in your system's orientation along the long wall. I assumed, looking and your photos and overhead plan, that moving the system to the short wall was not an option. If that is an option, then th...
