Subwoofer for music only ?
Whatever you choose, try to avoid convention and go nearfield. By dumping all the energy into your listening seat, you avoid problems with room boundaries. You owe it to yourself to try this.    
Dedicated 20 amp circuit. 10/2 or 10/3?
mnenasci    Dedicated circuits is a great idea. I have five 30 amp circuits for amps and two circuits for low power, 20 amp. The low power is a 30 amp sub panel fed through a larger Sola isolation transformer. Upstairs has less than that.

Aurender N200

Hi Nickt, I bought some Aurios from you in 2002 and you mentioned Krell to me. Thanks for the AWESOME tip. I will keep looking for a used pair from a trustworthy source.

Martin Logan CLS setup
I use the clsIIz and my room is roughly 26 by 44 or something like that. It opens into a few open stairwells and another thousand feet of floor space or so. I have a TV instead of a fireplace, but this photo shows what I have done to make my speak...
