Dedicated room

Stereophile.com website archives, thumb back through for excellent articles on dedicated room with references. Mine is a concrete bunker 18 x30 x9 with various intrusions that keep it from being a simple rectangle. Almost totally underground, cant hear a thunderstorm down there, but I did sheetrock the walls for looks which means some sound treatments. Check out Decware. com for some very interestingly cheap sound treatment ideas, or just buy the DSP 1 and let it do all the work (at least for digital signals). Or wait about a year and I'll tell you how it worked.....oh, and of course, the most important thing, the ceremony and (proper) plaque placement....

OK it was late and I hate to type. "Bunker" is my basement, 12 inch block walls, every other cell filled with concrete slab. One wall is a 2x6 loadbearing wall with sheetrock, which is why I sheetrocked the rest of them. The ceiling is 16 inch wood I beam joists on 19.2 inch centers with a bunch of insulation stuffed between the cans and sheetrocked. Are you sorry u asked yet? But the best part is definitely no WINDOWS. By the way, also check out www.tweakaudio.com for very interesting, uh, information, for lack of a better all encompassing word. Another zen meister like Steve Deckert.
