Overley lost me when I read the big dark red letters that said "the average cost of an acoustic door is $2500-$3000 dollars." All that for STC47? That wood door won't stay at 47 too long in Oklahoma. Can you say humidity?

Spend $200 on the doors and put the other several grand into a HVAC - then you get decent doors and no humidity :D
