Cinder Block Walls


Moving to a new house and will have to setup music system in a semi-finished basement with cinder block walls. Does anybody have experience with the sonic effects of this type of construction? Looking for information as to what to expect and possible corrective measures. Don't know exact room dimensions, but it's very large, I estimate 45' x 30'. The floor is carpet over concrete. My speakers are Martin-Logan Odyesseys.

Thanks!

Rives, thanks.

To clarify, all 4 of the walls are bare cinder block. The ceiling is unfinished with exposed joists. The room will be dedicated to audio and I'll have the flexibility to position everything for optimum sound quality. The room will be sparsely furnished, just the audio equipment, records and a listening chair. I figure between the main speakers, the twin RELs and the TACT EQ I can deal with bass peaks, but I'm worried about the room being overly hard and reflective.
