Building a house

Thanks, plan to have a bunch with dedicated outlets for the mono amps. Of course will be doing professional sound treatment after the room is built. Have used vicoustics in my current room. Any other suggestions?

Thanks sgreg1 I do use a turntable for substantial listening. Will look into your suggestion.

Thanks audiophilenm, how does one go about computer modeling the room?

I really appreciate all of the great advice and thoughts. The house will be 1 floor and no basement. Fortunately my wife has a hands off approach to this project (she gets to do the rest of the house). The room will be rectangular with 12 foot ceiling. Several of you mention the "right proportions" - opinions on what these proportions are? Thanks again!

Excellent! Lots of information to digest. Thanks everyone.

Thanks again everyone - now discussing with the architect

Thx, not planning on a home theater
