I finished a dedicated listening room in my last house,
which had poured concrete floors and walls. I recommend
framing all walls with 2X4" studs, and using "fire code"
(5/8" thick) sheetrock backed by fiberglass batts between
the studs. I'd also recommend studs on the floor ("sleepers")
secured to the concrete with a power nailer,
and 3/4" plywood screwed to the sleepers forming the floor.
I'd paint Dry-Lock on the concrete walls, and cover the
walls and floor with vinyl sheeting, taped at the joints
to keep the humidity down. I also installed multiple
outlets on three separate 20 amp circuits for the
equipment. Doors should be solid core to prevent
resonant vibrations.
Good listening........... !
