Looking good! That center is quite the beast.

I have a 58" Panny plasma doing a nice job in my bedroom, looks identical to yours.

Is the blue painter's tape to mark your future screen size/location?

The TV is a TCP50G20, also circa 2010. No complaints about it other than I wish I had bought another plasma a few years ago before they stopped being produced!

Yes, the tape is a projector screen outline, trying to get a feel for size and placement. The inner square is 100" and outer is 110". I need to put up a 120" outline and then make a decision, it'll definitely be either 110 or 120.

But, but, but. Then the speakers will have to move!

Haha true. They won't mind though, they're probably too close together as they are with the listening position about 13 feet away and only about 7 feet between the towers.

Then watch out for the side walls. You'll definitely need some sound treatments there.

Yeah it's unfortunate that they'll have to be moved towards the corners but it's a trade off between pure music listening and home theater. I was planning to build some absorption panels for the left wall and possibly the ceiling to treat first reflections. Unfortunately the right wall is more difficult with a fireplace sandwiched between two sets of sliding glass doors. The doors have curtains but it's obviously not ideal.

Anything else I should consider as a first step for treatments?

The new Ascend/Rhythmik front stage in my music/theater room in the basement.

F12 subs in the corners, RAAL Sierra Towers and RAAL Horizon for LCR.

These are replacing a Vandersteen system that I've had for ~15 years. I plan on adding 4 Lunas for surround/back duties sometime later this year...
