Sirquack: That is a good point. I could get two EP350's...maybe place one in the front and one in the back. Any other takers on this idea? Given that I suggested it a few posts earlier, am I a giver or a taker on that idea?  Also, this positions you well for the possibility of two subs (either immediately or in the near future), which I think in your situation [huge room] could give you very noticeable improvement in sound. I'd do a sub run to each corner of the room at a minimum since you have the luxury of being able to do so now before the drywall is up.

Another thing to consider is that you could run the system in multichannel stereo to spread out the sound when looking for background music every where in the room, opposed to blaring it out with just the 2 floorstanders. The volume doesn't have to be as high when the music is coming from all the speakers in the room. Ditto that. After many years I am still shocked how good Denon's multi-channel function is. For non-critical listening I generally prefer the 5 Ch surround mode for the very reasons stated above. Just don't go cheap on the surrounds, as they will play a significant role in this set up. So M22's all around or QS8's in the back would be my suggestion.

The 500 will play a little lower, and has a bigger amp, however the 350s are dang good amps. The more subs you have spread out in the room, the flatter frequency response you can achieve if you have multiple seating locations for movies...

I have a Denon 2805. Is that sufficient to power a 7.1 or 7.2 system?
I don't see 2 subwoofer outlets on it.
Will it be able to play 7.2 in the room and still play music on zone 2 (outside speakers)?

I have a 2805 and it works great. Most receivers only have 1 sub LFE out jack, you can daisy chain the subs togethor:
receiver - sub out jack - sub 1 - sub2 - sub 3 (the sub channel is a mono channel.
or you can put a splitter or y cable on the single sub out and run 2, 3, etc. lines off of that...
Are you planning on getting a different receiver, the 2805 is getting dated..

what receiver would you recommend?
also...my AV guy sells Triads, and is pushing them. Any thoughts on them vs. Axiom?

By all accounts the Triads are very good, never heard them myself though.

I have not checked, but I thought Triads were much more expensive than the Axioms - at least for similar traits.
