I've finally gotten the chance to play with my B4+ a little. I tell you, the wife has a baby, and everything changes.
A little background:
I'm in an 18x22 room (about there), with an 8' ceiling, with a big archway on one corner and corner placement. I just redid much of the room, and I think I'm going to stop for now, so that I can actually enjoy it for a bit.
Here's the front (click for bigger picture):

The center channel speaker is behind the bottom blackdrop area in the screen.
When I ordered the B4+, I was unsure of what color to get until I found out they can custom colormatch. No question, this is definitely the way to go.
I sent them one of my surround speakers (Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 Deluxe in Rosewood), and they sent me some samples of what they did. You really have to see it in person to appreciate what a piece of work that subwoofer is. The colormatching was excellent.

Here is the equipment rack, near the archway (click):

From top to bottom:
Gefen 4x1 DVI switcher, hidden (from our good friends at BetterCables, a HTF sponsor)
Voom HDTV box
Lexicon MC-8 Balanced
Vinc Bravo D1 DVD player with DVI output
LiteOn 5001 DVD+R/RW burner
Behringer Feedback Destroyer (now has 1" feet for some extra room off of the K2)
Crown K2 Amplifier
Panamax 4400 20-amp power distribution unit
Panamax 4400 20-amp power distribution unit
Panamax 5300 power filter
Adcom GFA-7807 7-channel amp
The K2 & BFD finally came and I started tuning. I started with 3 plugs in, but settled on 2 plugs.
I'm a COMPLETELY n00b at tuning this thing, but after hours of fiddling (and frantic icq messages to a friend), I arrived at this:
It sounds INCREDIBLE. I can't believe what a sub this B4+ is.
I know there's still more to tune out of it, so if you have suggestions, please chime in! I'd greatly appreciate it.
I think I have to start strapping stuff down...
