Thanks for the tips and ideas folks. I think I'll be leaning towards some extra support pilings, cross braces, and double layer of plywood as a minimum. Good tips about the AC system.

FWIW - We are seriously thinking about building a round house from Deltech - see link below. If built raised, they have a subfloor system that I'm assuming are trusses. It's certainly not just pieces of dimensional lumber. My audio room would be a rectangular wing added ot the main structure and would utilize the same "web-tech" (think that's what they call it) subfloor system so beefing it up may not be possible as it would say, going to a 2*12 from a 2*10. I'm sure the extra pilings would address any extra support issues. Many of these homes built in high wind or hurricane areas have two layers of plywood on the floor for added strength - so the system can handle some extra weight.
