acoustic ceilings


My room is 15d by 9 wide by 8 high. I have scanned the internet re room acoustics and have a good idea of side\rear wall and floor treatments. Previously, I was going
to use a supended Armstrong ultrimo ceiling (basically 703 with a facing, but I read some feedback saying this would deaden the room (all absorbent). There is no "w" i.e., WAF,
so I would consider the hanging panel method, if anyone could direct me to an affordable application or D I Y ideas,
I would appreciate

How about floors? I have a 500+ sqft room I'm re-doing that will double as a listening room and gym. Maybe I'll get back in shape in the process. Floors are bare grey concrete as this was a shop area adjacent to a garage. Don't mean to de-rail the thread as I need ceiling information as well.
Try RPG Hemiffusor's. They work best in a tight array directly overhead. They can be randomly oriented. I use Velcro to attach them to the ceiling. Then use absorbent panels for the first reflection points on the ceiling from the speakers. See my pictures in virtual systems (use Bigby or CatÂ’s Meow to search). I'm going to put up the absorbent panels this summer.
I posted a thread like this about a year ago when I was considering ceiling treatment's. After considerable research it was apparent that there was no socially acceptable way to accomplish this. Both my room's have peaked ceilings, so the problem is minimized. Not only did the better half not like what she saw, I didn't think much of the ugly absorbers either. We settled for a few discreet wall absorbers, carpeted floors and acoustically correct window coverings. We couldn't be happier now.
