would it be overkill to put the epic60 w/ep500 system in a basement that is 13 x 19 with 8' ceiling and what would be a decent receiver to go with it?

That would be a great system for that space, there are many good receivers out there, did you have a budget in mind?

Hi and welcome golfguy. I wouldn't consider it overkill at all if you like to 'turn it up' occasionally. I have an Epic 80 / EP500 in a smaller area than that, and love it. The M60's are an easy load for any quality receiver you choose to drive. Just choose the bells and whistles you like and go with it!

i would prefer to spend less than $1,000 and it wouldn't care if it had hdmi. it seems like most receivers don't do hdmi very well from what i've read. and i do like to turn it up.

As Spoiler said get a receiver with the features you like, alot of great receivers out there for less than $1000, I like Denon, but that's my preference. As far as the Hdmi Imho I thinks it's best to go straight from your DVD to your TV without going through the receiver.

Welcome golfguy.
I have my setup in a similar room.
There is no such thing as overkill, IMHO. I don't like the word adequate either!
Lot's of good receiver choices out there including refurbs and B-stock.

I have a Marantz 7500 for a similar system. It's my preference. I was able to get it under $1000.

First off, most of us would never claim overkill even if you put M80s in a shoe box. 
I have a little bit bigger room with just M60s atm and they are much more than powerful enough.
OTOH, you never know when you might move some day and need to run your system in a larger room and want to upgrade to M80s.
Therefore I think the Denon 3805 might be the ticket. Best prices on the net are under $800. The Denon 3805 runs 4ohm speakers very well.
If you are sure you're never going to go up to a 4ohm speaker the RX-V2500 Yammy is a good choice and you can get them now for under $600.
I own the RX-2500 and I'm very happy with it, but would of liked the option to upgrade to the M80s some day.
