The seven π is beautiful and may be better suited to this room, however even the four π are at the top end of my price range.
The room is also very uneven. from the right window to the wall I have 20.5" and from the left window to the wall I have 32.5" and the left channel would be obstructed by the fireplace. On the right there is a large opening 72" for the foyer that lies opposite the fireplace. offset on the back wall is the opening 9'6" for the dining room. In all honestly this room is a nightmare for acoustics. For instance, I have a wall/door on the rear left I don't have on the right. We have tried putting the tv in front of the fireplace and it really did help for the L/R channels but destroyed the center and surrounds. I nor the receiver's tuning mic could sort it. These room oddities and cost are why I didn't consider the seven π.
I don't take your suggestions lightly though. If you think I would be unhappy/dissatisfied with what my budget can get me right now. I have no problem postponing the project.
