PL Premium hmmmm I can't do that though I am laying vapor barrier down first over the concrete floor, then the underlay.

I looked into it and the non tucking isnt an issue. Modern homes have transitions from carpet to tile with no transition strip (or tuck) commonly. Also, the PL has an advantage of not spalling the concrete or coming loose over time. Overthinking things led me to worry.
Troy, I wasnt aware you could put vapour barrier directly on a slab. Dont you mean Dricore or the plastic orange corrugated underlay? The concrete must be allowed to breathe or moisture issues might happen afaik. Carpet underlay has a slight membrane on the side that goes down to keep the foam from wicking moisture out of the concrete I think. Not totally sure if that is its purpose.

Oh yeah, so now I have to get a roll of foam crack filler to fill the 7/16" gap between the concrete and trim to reduce sound flanking into the wall cavity. Poo.

Matt, I like your idea, but there is a fair ammount of movement in the channel setup. I guess I'm afraid over time the corner taping will seperate at the ceiling. The drywall is about 1/4" off the floor and the resilient will flex downwards if stressed to much (as its designed to do.)

Serenity... It's coming along great! Nice warm colours. Fixtures look awesome as well. Do you have any carpet sample pics? The room is gonna rock.

Back in this thread there was a digression where I went to futureshop to demo ATMOS on a pioneer SC-85 receiver. Had to update it to get it to work yadda yadda yadda.....
Anyway a few months ago it was 1799$. Now it is 1099$. I would guess they will go lower. Once the DTS:X rollout happens ATMOS only AVRs will be clearing out. (Obsolete next to full featured models on the showroom floor.)
Take note peeps! This is an inbetween cycle of misfit gear. They wont do DTS:X or the coming UHD standards properly... BUT if you dont care about that kind of stuff you can get a flagship legacy format AVR now for a very reasonable price.

Perhaps when it comes down to the $498.97 on clearance at BestBuy (seeing as FutureShop has gone out of business)
