Another option is to run it around the floor just inboard of the carpet gripper rail before carpets are laid - assuming you're having carpets and don't move things around too much.

I had the same idea, but I thought if I ran at least 2 pairs of cables from corner to corner and left the length of the central wall lose, then I could also have my TV and amp at either end of the room.
