Thanks Guys. I'm hearing one vote for 2xFV15HP and one for 2xF15HP. So I went and read like 20 other related threads across the web (some of which include more thoughts from N Boros )... I'm leaning strongly towards the 2xF15HP because:

- concern: not enough output for 33Lx15Wx10-17H (sloped ceiling)

- subs will be relatively near field, against the walls directly to the sides of the main seating area, more perceived output
- music is at least 50%, from what I understand sealed is better for this
- sealed is "harder to screw up" in setup or "ported is harder to get right"
- sealed is smaller, especially in height... so I can set them on auralex pads and still not be too tall

Now I just have to save up the money and see if going in for horizon and surrounds at the same time makes it a better deal. I asked black or silver woofer and the wife said silver - I take that as authorization for the entire purchase!
