What paint sheen?

Eggshell holds up real well. I will tell you that Sherwin-Williams is the best paint I have ever used. It costs more but if you plan to stay there and don't really enjoy painting. Pick a good color and get SWP. I have had many good experiences on warranty and coverage issues. And I have noticed tighter bass and reduced shrill in the highs.
Or maybe that was the amplifier....hmmm. Oh yes now I remember!....It was the color I picked was so ugly I closed my eyes and listened more intently.

I'd not get to glossy with the pait choice. depends on where the colums are placed. Perhaps doing the tops and bottoms of the pillars in a gloss and egg shell (least glossy.. just above flat or matte) on the uprights themselves.

It might prove a good idea to take this opportunity to add some 'life' into the room, or carry the theme out as is.

Re-reading your post I don't think it too critical for or against the on screen image visualization. I'd be more concerned about any distractions like those from ambient glare of the screen's light upon the pillars to either side of the screen more than anything. That could well be an issue for me. I'd prefer non reflective paint there... and what color depends again, on your theme and just how much attention you want them colums to get.

I think I would go with either satin or eggshell rather than using the glossy. Between those two I do not think it will matter all that much.
