Looks great. I can't believe more people don't appreciate those elegant-looking (and really great-sounding, for their size) KEF speakers! Though considering how expensive those floorstands were, I bet you were sad to no longer be able to use them.

One thing, from an audio-snob perspective: that center channel placement isn't very good. You'll get early reflections from the bulkhead above it that are going to hurt dialog intelligibility on TV/movies, and lead to a disjointed soundstage on multichannel music. You can fix it a little bit by aiming the center channel towards the listening position (the stand has a ball joint to allow that) and putting a piece of foam on the bottom of the bulkhead, extending out maybe the width of the television.

Also, ideally, the front three speakers should all be in a line. Others looking to duplicate this setup might want to raise the TV a little bit, and mount all three front speakers in a line under it. Use the ball joints to aim them up. Also, coincident-driver speakers like the KEFs sound best IMO when they're cross-fired ahead of the listening position, so use the ball-joints on the stands to toe the left and right speakers in.
