You should be paying extra for scratches or dents. They decrease the enclosure's mass and lower the resonant frequency.

Quick update! I finally finished the majority of the trim, including filling and sanding in all the holes. All I have left is the dog house, which I should finish this weekend. This was another first for me, never trimmed and entire room. Some of my outside corners had gaps, which I assume is from the uneven floors and the walls not being perfectly square. However, I filled the gaps with plastic epoxy and rebuilt the corners with some clay tools. After a little sanding, they looked perfect. The wife requested some area rugs to match the stairs, so I had those made up as well. Makes it cozy and helps with the cold floors. Oh and I finally ordered the speakers yesterday  . Ordered everything from the factory outlet...M60x2, M3 Bookshelvesx2, VP160, M3 In-Ceilingx4, EP600, FMS24 Standx2, and FMS160 Stand. Debbie said everything should ship out in a week or so.

The room looks fantastic mike. Kudo's job well done. Did you put drycore under the flooring, i know the laminate looks so nice but damn it can be cold . I think in floor heating is the way to go, my boss has that in his house sooo nice on the tootsies. I often wonder is i am sitting too far back from my tv, i seem to see people sitting really close. Every time i buy a bigger tv i move back ,maybe i am missing out . I sit about 14ft from a 70" ,i did move ahead a bit but maybe i need to get closer.

Sitting farther back from a big screen prevents neck fatigue from swiveling, especially if watching tennis, ha!

Looks awesome.
The carpet should also help you quite a bit with taming the reflections from the flooring.
