Good questions. You're not nosy at all. My friends who play poker tell me if you can't spot the patsy when you sit down to a game, it's you. I didn't have to spend much time reading threads on Audiogon to realize I am the patsy here.
80% movies, 20% 2 channel music, but I've heard if you get a good theater system you'll find yourself listening to more concert films.
Sound performance characteristics - I do love the accuracy that I've heard from Martin Logan and have no great love for over-mixed bass. I also think I don't have enough experience to answer the question as well, nor as thoughtfully as I would like to.

Others - My background is as a retail box consumer who has only just become aware of different/better options. So I've not listened to many. The best sound I've ever heard was Nautilus speakers with Mcintosh amps at a local high-end store. The descriptions I've read of Sonus Faber make me think I would like those.
Walls - Yes, to the covering. No to the location of the walls. It's an existing room that I won't be able to change the shape or size.
