I think I over treated my room. I can't hear anything.

Now that I got your attention. I've been posting questions about treating my listening room in my new house that I'm moving into in a month. 
I just remembered a trip I took to the Johns Manville testing facility in Littleton, CO back in 2002 while working for an Insulation company here in Milwaukee. Allied Insulation.
A small group of us walked into this room and it was hard to hear anyone talking when standing next to one another. I couldn't find any info about that facility but I did find a site where the room looks the same.
Most of you know if you use a SPL meter in any room in your house with nothing running the meter still registers 30 or so decibels. This room claims to have a minus 9 something. They also claim that 45 minutes is the most that anyone can handle. Check this out.

I have a small jet and not only is it hard to keep vinyl records under control on it (especially on take off and landing), it gets really hard to focus on micro-nuance during a flight due to the ambient roar of the engines...if I can get my pilot to just glide a little it's so frightening for the passengers it's really not worth it. Acoustic shows on a DC3 used to be the same issue as my quiet ukulele solos were basically inaudible...got paid anyway.

Your listening room or area is the most important part of your system. You are in a great spot starting in your new home. If possible get your equipment in and start adjusting the room.
Some of the highest rated equipment can sound terrible in a poorly tuned environment
