New home - shoulda woulda coulda's

Working on my new home design. Would be interested in hearing of some new construction strategies that would service my audio needs. I'm interested in what infrastructure-related products that you folks might consider indespensible. I'm primarily interested in exceptional 2 channel audio support in my main living area. Eventually I will have a dedicated home theater/audio room in the basement and would require support for that room. Again, just interested in critical backbone products and not a home "media system" that will be outdated in a couple of years. However, if anyone knows of some exceptional "in-wall" products that might service some peripheral listening in other rooms, I'd be interested in those as well. I'm not afraid to spend the money as I cannot go a day without music. Oh yeah, no WAF issues so let loose with your bad selves! No need to rehash old threads I may have missed, so please offer up some links. Thanks.

Floor is joisted over a daylight basement however I'll have radiant heat tubing running under the floor (stapled foil panels for retention)I'm in the northeast.

Actually the girlfriend got the biggest kick out of the "porno room" idea but then got overly inquisitive about the Nicole Kidman videos - not that there's anything wrong with that...

Thanks for the Auralex link - I'll definately spend some time there.

What about dedicated circuits/power conditioning - opinions?

Was thinking about a "little" room (closet) in the basement to house a server for music and video and origin for ethernet runs. What else could I hide in there?

You all have been great in your responses - much appreciated! WOW Mitch2, a 30 amp circuit just for your amp! Your shack must rock! Can you weld with that amp too?

Seriously folks, I've started to assemble quite a punch list thanks to you all and really getting excited about the build. Can't wait for the day when I'll actually be able to power up my gear, pour myself a scotch and sit back and....#&^@* it just seems so far off! Guess I got lot of checks to write between now and then.
