Option 1. I read Jim Smith's book and he was dead on about the rack in middle being a "less than ideal" choice. I proved it in my own living room and the decluttering of the front was magical.
Unfortunately, this ideal setup could not be maintained once company was in the room. It made the room fairly unusable for anything but audio. My wife is VERY understanding but this was pushing it. Ah, the compromises we make to maintain marital bliss!!
