I'm in the process of creating a new HT room in our house. Right now we are finished with the floor(cork) and are getting ready to trim, hang the projector and screen, and start purchasing the speakers. Our Google Blog shows some actual pictures of the room.



I have listened to a setup of a member here in Omaha, NE and have decided on sticking with Axioms. I'm thinking M22's front, VP100 center, QS8's side, M2's rear. I have a SVS PC-Ultra12 cylinder sub \:\) .

It's going into a room of about 12'x24' with 8' ceiling. If you have Google SketchUp(free) you can see a model here .

I'm basically looking for any suggestions/hints/anything about the room. Specifically, are my surrounds a good choice for the room size? I'm going to be using a PS3 for Blu-Ray and a HD-DVR for TV. I'm looking to spend less than $500 for a receiver. I'm thinking of just picking up a Panasonic XR55 which I know will work for now and wait to get something later. Any alternatives?
