Unifinished room - looking for help for seating/filling the room.

I made some changes to a room that's about 13ft by 16.5ft (not counting back hallway. And now i'm trying to figure out how to arrange seating.

My goal is to have my seat be centered to the tv to take full advange of the 5.1.4 setup i have for audio. I like to sit 7.5 feet away from the 83 inch tv.

We have a few ideas such as having an L recliner couch hugging the left wall (last seat would be centered) and putting a bar behind that. Then I'd have a space on the right where I could put a swivel chair or something like that.

Another idea is to just center a three seater but that feels like it doesn't leave room for much else.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Renovating our basement and setting up a 5.1.2 setup

We moved into a house (Canada) a year ago and are getting the basement redone.

I bought a Denon X1700H, two RC80i Polk speakers as the ceiling speakers and two in-wall RC85i Polk speakers for the the rear speakers. The TV will be where the fireplace is on the plan here.

I'm debating getting towers for the front or getting in-wall speakers to complete the surround setup. I will have the wiring for the ceiling and rear speakers done professionally but I'd like to figure out if I'll get more in-wall stuff sooner than later.

I edited a crude drawing to show what I mean for this setup. The ceiling is about 9 feet high.

Any tips on what speakers i should get to complete the setup? Looking for left, center, right and a sub essentially. I imagine my ceiling and rear speakers are fine. Any help is really appreciated. I'm pulling hair out trying to figure out optimal surround sound setups lol.
