Hello,

My basement is undergoing a reno to convert the space into an HT. It's a small space, roughly 10x20ft. The budget will allow for the Epic 60/500, but before I go ahead with it, I thought I would look to this board for some advise:

1) In a room of these dimensions, will the M60's be overkill... i.e. while the budget allows them, I don't want to through good money after bad.

2) If I am really nice to my wife, I might be able to extend the budget from the 500 to 2x350. What are the pros/cons of each option?

3) I will have full access to the wall behind the HT (furnace room). However, I want to sufficiently wire the other three rooms to allow for the most flexibility. Any suggestions?

4) Any recommendations for soundproofing the furnace room? I don't care about the HT bleeding into the furnace room, but I want to block the noise of the furnace into the HT.

5) Any other advice would be appreciated!
