Situation: We will be doing a basement renovation soon. At the moment, I don't have a full go-ahead to turn this room into a listening room. The room will be multipurpose for another 4 years (when the last kid goes to college). I am not working with $100k and an architect. This is about laying the groundwork for later adjustments.
Room:
- The room is a rectangle: 27 ft. x 17 ft. x 8 or 9 ft.
- (I say 8 or 9 foot ceilings because right now the rafters come down to 8 feet but the floor above is at 9 feet.)
- Walls are unfinished, the ceiling is unfinished.
- Two outside walls are concrete.
- The floor is concrete.
There's a lot of literature out there, including a great article by Harley about building a listening room.

QUESTION: What would you suggest should be done that is fundamental to the build out of the space?
- Wall construction?
- Dimension modification (cannot make ceilings higher)
- Electrical?
- Other things?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
