What sub ya got coming?

Not sure yet, It will be to big for the room, planning for the future, but Im a thinking much past the 350 would acutually hurt in my room. Unless a big one would do fine low and I could move it later on.

There is really no such thing as "too much sub"

You can turn the gain down on the sub and also lower the sub level on the receiver to make a large sub work in a small room if needed.

That being said, I think an ep350 will be fine for your room, and will work well in a larger room too.

But if you want to go bigger you always could.

I love my 500. It gives authority to anything (which is everything) that we listen to through the receiver.

Jeff, in that size room the QS4s should be plenty. No, you don't have to be concerned about a difference in the mid-woofer size with respect to the front speakers. It would be extremely subtle to the degree that it wouldn't be noticeable on typical surround material.

4 QS8's would be my recommendation, as they offer that future proofing factor of a the larger room.

I'm currently running 7.1 in a room 10' wide by 20' long and 8' high. My couch is roughly 16' back from my display.

I wired the room for 7.1 in 2004 to future proof. When I upgraded my received and added the second set of QS8's I didn't find that the 4 QS8's are needed in my room. I think it looks great and I have all my speakers for the next house but in hindsight I think I should have went for a 2nd sub instead.

For awhile I was running M3's as rears and for multi channel music or speaker B for swithcing back and forth from M60 to M3. I liked this set up a bit better. Furthermore, I used the M3's as presence speakers up front (Yamaha feature) and found that was more beenficial than the 7.1

I think you may be surprised how much better your bass will be once you add a second sub or upgrade your current one. I thought my JBL 10" sub was awesome until I got my HSU....
