One of the most important factors in audio sales is the WAF, Wife Appreciation Factor. In your case, I imagine it's the MAF, but that's not the point. So many big systems are crippled by poor speaker placement, or are returned simply because they must please the wife. Now this isn't saying women don't know what's up, but rather that men with wives often let the women decorate the house. Thus, since their word is law, when the man brings home a hulking piece of solid wood that completely clashes with the rest of their perfectly arranged living room, it's the wife who has the final say. Thus audio installers will try to do whatever they can to accomodate both parties wishes, some companies will even custom dye speaker grills to match upholstery patterns.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, nice little setup.
