New construction ceiling advise

I have a new home with a designated listening room in the basement. I have 2x4 studs on 8” center with double 1/2” drywall. The floor will be covered in carpet.  The room is 30’ 4” x 16’. I originally planned to use high grade USG ceiling tile but that would only provide a 9’ or less ceiling. My question is this: What if I use nothing overhead? I would be at 11’ to the subfloor above. Sound isolation in this room is not an issue. TIA

I am paying taxes on a property I cannot live in. How is this even close to fair?

I don’t think the tax system was designed to be fair.

In my state, you’re assessed separately for the land and "improvements." So yea, you can be paying very high property tax (because of the value of your land) while your house is barely livable.
