I'm in S.Jersey if you want to check out some of this stuff to see how it works drop me a note at rodge827 at comcast dot net

I uses Revel B15 sub in a room far larger than yours and it is amazing. You can optionally consider 2 subs but it may kill your budget.

I have a Lexicon running my main HT setup but I use an Emotiva x-100a mini for my zone 2 and zone 3.

Kal in stereophile gave the larger Emotivas a spin in his Stereophile column and they were well reviewed. Just a suggestion since you have a free in home.

Ordered the Oppo and bought a b&w asw610 from a member. I had good experiences w my 600 in the room so I stuck w it. I'm leaning towards the Emotiva, but the back order may put me into almost April.

I'd second the Outlaw amp suggestion. I had an Emotiva XPA series amp, and had a sibilance issue with some cds. I've heard that B&W speakers can be more forward than laid back and with my Paradigm Sig 6 it was the same. I do have an Outlaw 7125 as well and I prefer it to the Emotiva house sound.
