A book that might help you is F. Alton Everest's Master handbook of Acoustics, 4th edition. I got it from Amazon and read the thing in it's entirety.
To me, it was not one of those 'books full of excitement and suspense you just can't put down'; it's more in the 'tough to read' category. It is however extremely thorough and contains a lot of detailed information. It has some great information on the theories that apply to sound and music, as well as practical guidance on room design and acoustical treatments. It helpded me understand what was going on in my room and how to correct some of it.
I started by just reading the chapter I thought I needed, and got thoroughly lost. Plowing through it start to finish was the right answer. As said, not an easy read but very educational.
