Advice on building a dedicated listening room.


I am getting ready to build/finish a dedicated listening room in my basement and want to to it "right", the first time!

The rough room is aprox. 15' x 30' with 9' ceiling height and is again, presently bare concrete walls & floor.

I already have a "dedicated" AC line run to the room.

Any suggestions on parameters, materials, ceiling type, links to other threads or sites, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks to any and all contributors.

All good comments above. The one point I'd add is to think about building the room with ASC "Wall-Damp IsoWall" panels, or something comparable. See the following link to ASC's web site for more info about "Wall-Damp IsoWall":

Having the correct dimensions for your listening room, with proper speaker placement, etc., is certainly vital, but if you are going to build a dedicated room, do it right and be sure your walls are acoustically dampened.
