System edited: The room was constructed in an existing storage room that is attached to the house. The room housed a furnace and well pump with still resides in the area behind the doors. The wood stove sits physically between them separated by sheet-rock and some tile. The floor is concrete and was covered with some high quality pad and nice Berber carpet. All construction was done single-handedly. My wife did assisting in holding sheet-rock panels and final painting. I did have a contractor tape and mud which ran about $1700.00. Total cost of materials was a little over $5,000.00. The cost of the rack was about 100 bucks and all other room treatments ran about another couple hundred. Pretty much everything was purchased at Home Depot. With the exception of the one wall hanging (Sigman), couch, blinds and equipment, everything in the room was DIY. The vertical blinds did make a difference. That was the last thing added to the room. The difference in sound was not as significant as the side panels, the rear diffusors or room lenses. The blinds were added for both decorative purpose as well as sound improvement. They did seem to warm up the overall presentation a bit. I think the reason why a more significant change did not occur was because my speakers were already 48” away from the rear wall. My equipment rack was constructed out of one inch and three-quarter inch MDF, three-quarter inch all-thread and associated nuts, bolts, and washers, PVC pipe and most important bicycle inner tubes. The basic construction of the rack is very common with the exception of using one inch as opposed to three-quarter MDF. The one-inch boards are the base shelves and the all-threads hold and separate the shelves. I used PVC pipe sprayed black to cover the all-threads. I used a router to cut out an area to house the inner tubes and used a sheet of three-quarter MDF to act as a base for the components. Each component has a inner tube and an addition MDF base beneath it. I’ve found that the inner tubes should be inflated with just enough air to give it sharp plus another 20% more air.
