Thanks, guys. It's not a real big house (these three pictures show about 80% of the house, the only thing not shown is the master bedroom) but I do like the way the design worked out. When you meddle with a design you end up living in fear while the crews are building... hoping you didn't muck it all up too badly. As it turned out I think I got real lucky -- a couple of desperate last-minute decisions (usually after staying up all night worrying about the design) came together pretty well.
I have been wondering about M80s, but my thinking is that since the loft opens out into... well, into the entire house... there are going to be some practical limits on how loud I can play up there. I'm hoping M60s will be enough for reasonable SPLs but I agree that Dennis' system would not be overkill for that area.
The bank is already having kittens so I don't think a change order adding 5 M80s and a stack of Halos would go over too well
