The speakers are awesome. In the theatre area, the stage is the only hardwood, so I cannot notice any degradation. Now, I do not claim to be an authority by any means so please keep that in mind. That being said, I believe that the speakers have performed great in the environment.

You have a bar and beer on tap!!! Sonofabitch I’m jealous!!
Way cool looking set up. Is the screen area considered a shadow box?

Awesome setup. That's the sort of room I'd love to build when I finally move out after University  .

Very nice job! I love your equipment rack and the wood trim.
I would suggest you get a stand for your center channel, so it is off of the wood floor. This will reduce echos from the floor and help with its clarity. It will also help the dialog sound like it is coming from closer to the screen.
It looks like you have some room in front of your speakers in the cove they are in. The further you move them out the better they may sound, but maybe you have already experimented and found the optimum location?
How is the single EP500 working out? Are you happy with it?
Glad you are enjoying it!

Thanks All.
There is beer on tap! I homebrew, so right now I have one homebrewed stout and a wheat from a local brewery. Also, I wanted that "guiness effect" so I have a nitrogen/CO2 (beergas) setup that my stout is being dispensed out of.
I do now have a "box" that my center channel sits on. This lifts the speaker to a height of about midway between the stage floor and the screen. The stage floor is about 1 foot above the room floor - which is carpet.
The 350 does work quite well. As it is an open space, it is allot of air to move but it is doing a great job.
Thanks for the comments!

Errol your HT project turned out extremely nice, I really like the overall shape of the room and how it all flows together. Are you have any heat issues with your equipment being enclosed in the built in rack?
Gorgeous setup!

I haven't had any heat issues as of yet. I do have a filtered AC vent in the back of the closet, so that has helped. The vent has also been equipped with an easy-to-access damper so I can shut it off in the winter when the heat may be on. Despite all of this, I am going to investigate some fan solutions to better circulate/vent air within the closet.
It may be as simple as a vent on the backside blowing air from the closet into the unfinished attic space.
