I wonder if the carpet is making things muddy? I have all wood floors here, there has to be some reflection issues to account for, and maybe that is why I am not hearing mud. Just a thought

Dirt under the concrete. More like clay actually. Is it red clay? Red clay is always boomy. We have 3 rooms with XT-32 ... and it is awesome.

Mojo is hearing mud because his clay is not really clay; its loam with high moisture which turns into mud. That is what he hears with too much Shalamar

Nothing to do with the carpet. I even tried the M80s upstairs in my living room which is pretty much open to the rest of the house and same boominess and muddiness. I have hardwood floors upstairs.
Craig, I got the XT-32 because Christos Kyriakakis, specifically told me their coefficents corrected for the boundary interaction of concrete and clay.

I have v2s. Brystons are out of the question for me. I just don't have that kind of spare cash.

Can't wait to hear your report on the EP800..... I suspect it's going to be like the difference between the Middle T and Model T. Same good sound, but more of it. Are you taking the day off from work to do the install?

Mojo:
You will have one V4 in a large room. I have two V3s in <2500 cu ft. Therefore, according to quantum physics, 2 X V3s = V6. All in less than half of your space.
That is a recipe of overkill IMO - hence outstanding performance.
BTW, although it is completely unimportant, I must advise that I have no dust caps either, but I do have some big slabs of HG Rosewood...
