Asymetrical 5.1.4 challenge

Please don’t mind the rather messy setup. I talked my cousin into a 5.1.4 setup a while ago (coming from stereo) and measured it with OCA A1 Acoustix Evo. It sounds phenomenal but he has gotten a much bigger couch last week and wants me to re-calibrate. I’ll gladly do so but am at a loss what to do with the right back height speaker.

Keep it as it is and exclude anyone outside the atmos bubble? Or move it further out (and up because of the window) and have the already asymetrical setup even more streched - degrading the sound at MLP? The surround has to move either way as you can see. For reference - the MLP is at the right third of the picture on the wall and the TV has to stay in the niche.

Thanks everyone.

Used stereo amp recommendations?

I have purchased a “refurbished” Cambridge Audio Azur 651A and the journey has been so frustrating that I’m kind of through with this particular brand. I’ll go into detail if someone is really interested but it basically involves the dreaded CAP5 malfunction.

Do any of you have recommendations for good sounding used gems on the european market? I’ve heard of Rotel for instance but that’s about the end of my knowledge.

Looking to drive two Canton Karat 920 DC / 4-8 Ohm / 70W DIN Power Handling

Thanks a bunch!
