Room design - home theater

Hi all,

I am in the process of building an extension, 14 by 21 feet. I am deciding on the following ceilings..

1) Vaulted Ceiling, 8feet wall to 11feet center of the room
2) 9 feet Flat ceiling
0r
3) Cuffered ceiling with 8 feet on 4 sides and 9 feet center.

Please let me know if you have any inputs on differences between all these 3 ceilings in terms of music and home theater experience.

This room will be 80% music and 20% movies.

Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is to build the structure as rigid as possible at the most cost effective way and put the money into proper room treatment.

A conventional room with flat ceiling can be properly acoustically modeled which when built with the right dimensions can be modeled to have the fewest and most benign null points in the room, then with the right types and placement of treatments you can get a good sounding room.
