Partly... The concrete walls have studs and the foam insulation was sprayed last fall (picture bulk Great Stuff) on all concrete surfaces between studs. I will install the drywall when I finish wiring. I'm considering a few options for more sound isolation and potential add angles to the walls to reduce parrallel surfaces. Thanks for the responses. I'm going to go demo various products locally and I'll figure things out as I go.

I'm installing a Home Theater at a vacation lake home and after the initial viewing over the weekend, I'm debating some first round suggestions for speakers. It's a basement room, dedicated to the theater, so I'm fortunate to not need to blend things in to keep the room "open". Dimensions are 23 x 13 x 8. The 2 short walls and 1 long wall are foundation walls and the floor is concrete foundation as well. Basically, I need sound that will engage the audience (my family/friends) in a big way without sounding like it's working too hard. Since the room does have a budget, speakers only get about $3-3.5k. I'd like to be able to get decent sound for both rows of seating (2 rows of 4, platform for the back row). A suggestion of using the RF-82s for both front and rear was given; however, if I can get better results from the package which uses more of the budget towards a better subwoofer, that could be an improvement. What would you use for speakers in a 23x13x8 room for around $3500? We're not shy to "feeling" the movies, so something that can create an impact would be prefered. Thanks, Carl
