Building a house with dedicated stereo room-advice

As you already know, this is a major expense, not an investment. Seek professional help so the out come will be optional. Consider using someone who is a trained acoustic an. Remember the room is going to last longer then any piece of equipment you use. So, start by reading Toole's 'Sound Reproduction'. Reading it a least three times would not be overkill. I did a room in a new house I built in Princeton in the 80's. I had help and guidance from an acoustican who taught in the engineering department at Princeton. Enjoyed the room for many years before I moved on after a divorce. The room was the best money I ever spent in seeking better sound.

Regards,

Five years ago, I was fortunate enough to build and design both a stereo room and a home theater room as part of a new house construction. It was expensive, but well worth it. I used Rives Audio to design the room (interestingly there was conflict between the people building the house and the Rives design. I had to step in and insist on the construction to go as designed.). I also acoustically isolated the rooms using materials and designs from Quiet Rock (double studded rooms with high end QR on each side.). I have 9 dedicated circuits between the two rooms, each connected to Oyaide RS-1 receptacles and used JPS audio heavy gauge, cryoed in wall AC wire. For me, the expense and final products are worth it, but I fully realize that if I sell the house I will not get a return on my investment, unless I sell it to an audiophile.

Enjoy and good luck,
Reg

Shouldn't you be consulting professionals instead of asking for advice here?

With all due respect to differing opinions, asking for advice based on actual experience can be extremely valuable. That's where A-gon members can be most helpful. Professionals will sometimes give recommendations that favor their own interests.
