The lounge is _almost_ perfectly rectangular, apart from a window bay &
one
of the 2 doors pertrudes about 1.5 foot into the room in 1 corner.

The origional plan that I drew up was to have 4 on 1 wall, 8 on the
opposite
wall & 4 others around the room.

Well that plan went to pot when I drilled the first hole in the wrong
place,
so now I have 8 on two opposite walls.

I had to run the cable down through the wall cavities from the loft because
we have solid floors downstairs and chip board upstairs. So I was limited
to
where I could put wires.

No, unfortunatly I didn't have time in the project to do that as well, but
I
did manage to put in 2 runs of speaker wire up one wall accross the loft
&
down the other for my speakers.
