While Zspradlin's suggestion on The Master Handbook of Acoustics is a very good one, you may want to start out with something a little more accessible -- "Sound Studio Construction on a Budget". F. Alton Everest wrote both.
Marco, great suggestions, especially the third one: Enjoying music is what this is all about. On a side note, I'm not sure I want to overcome my obsession/addiction; it's too much fun ;-)
I have the Master Handbook of Acoustics and while it is very good it is extremley complex. I would highly reccomend The Complete Guide to High End Audio.
Marco - I laughed so hard when I saw your recommendations - so true.. I think I need help.
