How to design music room?

Hueske-
primary goal is the best accoustics, secondary is noise isolation, and overall goal is listening nirvana

Joeb,
If I had a chance to do whatever I want, I would build something like :

Well, at least try to build room with "golden ratio” dimentions.

Thanks for the site info Nar com, and the others. I am looking for an architect to draw up the plans, I have the basic design in mind. I want a south facing window which in itself will affect resonance, but I don't suppose there's any getting around that, except maybe to add wall coverings and a thick carpet

I have a bow window, which is a big no no. I also have a fabulous view of a pond and great light. I have put systems in the basement for purity, but have opted for ambience. I really enjoy the music much more with a great view and nice light. On the other hand I have taken great pains to install heavy duty drapes for when I want do more serious listening and I have added considerable acoustics to make the room still sound great with drapes open.
