Setting up a 2 channel listening room


Looking to create a decent listening room. I have a media room that is being built in my new house, nothing too fancy. It is a hair under 18x14 feet, long side is free of windows, the room is symmetric and the ceiling is angled from front to back (9ft rear ceiling, 8ft front ceiling).

I am having them place a dedicated 20amp wall socket at the front end.

I am also thinking of having them double up on the subfloor and possibly having them encapsulate the entire room.

After this I was thinking of buying some audio/bass traps and playing with them.

Any other thoughts on setting up a good 2 channel room?

I would furnish the room first, carpets and such, set up my gear and listening position and just listen how it sounds. Only then I would consider how to deal with side wall reflections and standing waves. You could of course also use some form of DSP first as a rough guide and then tweak room, gear and listening position to your liking.
