I will be construction a house in the country side with pretty much a clean slate for the listening room design. This will be for a 2 channel system, not a surround home theater. I've read through the different discussions regarding room design and saw Premium Home Theater : Design & Construction by Earl Geddes mentioned several times as a good resource. Unfortunately It is no longer available at Amazon. The home will be fan shaped so using splayed walls will actually be easier than carving out a rectangular room. I'm leaning toward an irregular pentagon (birdhouse) shape. The ceiling will be sloped. Flooring on top of concrete and most probably adobe walls. I will have to compromise with some windows due to the spectacular view at the site. I envision looking at that while enjoying music. I know that's much less than ideal, but I'll have thick curtains for serious listening. From what I've read, building non-rectangular rooms can be more challenging. Any input is appreciated.
