Trying to build a near ref. listening room? Help

You might also solicit professional advice. Rives, an A'gon member, specialises on the subject and he's an audiophile.
BTW, GREAT project, you lucky devil :)!

Greg, thank you. Please do visit our site. I'll be very frank here--designing a reference listening room is not easy, and it's too expensive to do it wrong. There is so much that goes into it, from sound isolation, dimensions, construction methods (why 2 layer vs 1 or 3 layer), parallel walls vs taperred walls, aesthetics, expansion of the sweet spot and limiting bass mode build up in particular areas of the room. While, of course I'm very biased here with my next statement, I do strongly believe our design costs compared to the sonic benefit achieved is possibly the best value in high end audio. Here are some links that might prove useful to you:
Art Ludwig's site This site has some very good resources, somewhat technical at times, but very good information.
John Risch's site This site is for DIY treatments that can be applied to a room after the fact. This is probably less useful to you, as it doesn't really go into what you need and where, and since you are building the room from scratch I wouldn't really recommend using devices such as this, because optimized devices can be built into the room--rather than placed in the room later. It's very good for the DIY person that has an existing room, or if you plan to move and want to take acoustic treatment with you--then this may be a valid option.
Rives Audio "the Listening Room" This is our basic tutorial on room acoustics issues.
Rives Audio Consulting Services page This is where you will find the different services that we offer.
There are also some very good books on the subject. Alton Everest has a few: Master Handbook of Acoustics, and Studio on a Budget. Both very good and available from Amazon. Hope that helps.

I have a few different Pass & Seymour and Hubbell duplexes when you need somem, as well some advice about dedicated lines. RSVP when you're ready. Cheers.
