Thanks for the quick responses!!!!

Moving the surrounds closer to the center is a great idea and one I hadn't thought of.

I'm gonna hedge my bet on sub placement -- I'll wire for several potential sub locations including the 4 corners of the room AND on the stage.

Thanks for the nice words on the layout. The plans were conjured in AutoCAD...an application I spend many many hours with every day at work.

The room is currently dedicated to another purpose but the space becomes mine on May 31...I'm itching to start tearing down sheetrock!!!!

Pix to come.

Thanks again. Randy
