Advice on building a dedicated listening room.


I am getting ready to build/finish a dedicated listening room in my basement and want to to it "right", the first time!

The rough room is aprox. 15' x 30' with 9' ceiling height and is again, presently bare concrete walls & floor.

I already have a "dedicated" AC line run to the room.

Any suggestions on parameters, materials, ceiling type, links to other threads or sites, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks to any and all contributors.

The length of the room should be 1.6 times the width, or 24 feet. The 6 X 15 foot area left over could be handy for your workbench and leave plenty of storage space for your cartons. You might want to consider a ceiling height of 9' in the center of the room and maybe 7 1/2' on the ends. This would give you some non-parallel surfaces, while flat ceilings can cause some nasty reflections. My .02 worth.
