Tweaks when building a listening room?


I'm putting an addition to my house that will have a dedicated 2 channel room. It's fairly large @ 20'x 15' with 15' cathedral ceilings. I have 2 dedicated 20 amp plugs with PS Audio outlets. My question is there any tweaks as far as putting up the drywall or any other building ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Marc

Double-rock the drywall and use the very best sound insulation you can afford between the studs. There's a very dense specialized batting for sound, or blown-in is excellent as well. If you plan on running any systems in other rooms you may consider running some wires before the walls are buttoned up. Cat-5, speaker wire, and a set of coaxial wires would all be useful in running an extension system. I also did two dedicated 20 amp circuits and kind of wish I'd done a third.

Good luck!
