STOP!!!!
Do NOT spend any money on gear yet. You are showing us all that you are an audiophile in pursuit of great sound. You will have marginal success at best with your current layout. It just won't happen. The speakers will need to be brought out into the room at least 2-3 feet to get the bass to clean up, and imaging to appear. Period. Even if you do this only when listening to 2 channel music, and put them back for use in a Family Room environment, you will be happier. Try this first. beg forgiveness for the wife, and spend some hours experimenting. This will give you an education about the speaker/room interaction.
Next. If possible, spin the room 90 degrees. Put curtains on the window, and maybe even use a blanket on the TV if it must be on a stand in the center.
If you are stuck on the long wall try covering the TV with a blanket and moving the speaker out into the room at the same time. Prepare for an experience!
Now, in the present situation, some great stand mounts with a subwoofer will probably be the best solution, but the sub may need to be across the room or off to the right side to get a good integration.
