Dedicated Audio Room Plans....

As always, I strongly recommend buying F. Alton Everest's "Sound Studio Construction on a Budget", which covers all kinds of sound rooms, including domestic listening rooms. Advice from others here is doubtless great too, but you should definitely read Everest and learn a lot of theory as well as getting a lot of practical advice. IMHO.

I shall scale the Everest mount to learn what I can. Would appreciate any and all suggestions from others, while thanking those who have contributed thus far.

Rives, your site is certainly well constructed, I'm sure you do good work, and I'd wager many have benefitted from your efforts. For now, I will endeavor to learn all that I can from publicly available sources but may avail myself to your offer of services at some later point.

No amount of planning is going to gaurantee you a great sounding room. I have read both of Evretts' books and built a dedicated room and so far I would kill for the sound I used to get in my living room. It seems like almost every shop I have been to prefaces the listening with an excuse for the acoustics. All I can say is cross your fingers, I hope you come out happy. If I were to do it again I would certainly get some profesional help.
