So I have two new Subs arriving ( ) and as a result have begun to think about my Room. It's 12ft 8in long and 8ft 10in wide. My Projector Screen is mounted on the front wall. Looking like this (albeit old Sub)
The Projector is on a tall cabinet against the rear wall with the AVR, Shield, NAS and UHD Player all inside the cabinet. You can see the Cabinet and setup here. All cabling goes into the rear of the AVR at the back of the room.
Now the new Subs are going to go on the front wall, likely in each front corner. This will mean that I place my L and R Speakers on each of them and will remove the XTZ Speaker Stands. This puts me in the odd position of having one Speaker Stand.
Now the thing that irritates me in my current set up is that my AVR and UHD Player is behind me and therefore with the remotes I need to do some sort of bizarre bend around backwards and point and wish for the best when changing anything
So I have been considering this:
I'm basically trying to decide if my usability will improve and I'll also release some valuable space at the rear of the room?

So I have been considering this:
- Buying a 120cm x 64cm black Besta Unit and putting it in the middle of the front wall.
- Putting the Centre Speaker on top of this unit.
- Rewiring my Speakers and having all cabling going into the AVR at the front of the room in the Besta.
- Move AVR, Shield, NAS and UHD Player into Cabinet.
- Making sure I have the smoked glass doors so light from AVR and devices is minimal.
- Make sure all devices LED's are set to Dim.
- I would/could then remove the rear cabinet and wall mount the projector.
