Miab is correct about condensation issues and the need to consider what will go into conditioned vs. unconditioned spaces.  And how much it costs will be decided by typical local costs for the project in question, with no consideration whatsoever for lay "expectations".  It's generally lots cheaper to get professional estimates before committing to such a project.

Re: "Vaulted Ceilings"...

Is THE STRATEGY still to "overload" the room (or to at least have the capacity to do so, cleanly)?

I have gotten good-ish results with a small-ish 1/2-vaulted room, but the vaulting is like a mirror of the sprung floor in that it tends to have "effects" on the sound.

Of course I have no idea how much energy your current system produces.  I ass-u-me from reading along that it produces many times what I have (and this to better effect...).  Regardless, if the goal is to really load the room, then beware of the high, vaulted ceilings.  Sure, space around the speakers can be wonderful; but too much dead space can be deadly.

Best regards,
Paul S
