Lend me your ears...

I haven't even heard of Melnas. Can you point me at a download? 

We will have one 20 amp duplex outlet on its own circuit 

There will be the floor-to-ceiling drapes, a large tapestry the large leather recliner and sculpted berber carpet, and at least one person. 

Melnas was a Scandinavian (of course) mezzo who sang in the '80's. She is best known for the epochal "Cantate Domino" recorded and released by the Scandinavian (of course) company BIS. I believe that the title is available on SACD. I have no idea about the strange phenomenon known as 'downloading'. 

Enjoy!

@ott *S*  Sounds like a nice excuse to take 'multiple vacas' to 'exotica' places. ;)

...and there's always AXPONA, coming to an IL perhaps near enough.

Ear plugs optional...one can edit to taste.

You are lucky to have what sounds like a dedicated room.  I have one too.  Be careful not to overdamp; you don't want to be listening in a near anechoic chamber.  To create a realistic soundstage you do need some reverberation. You speak of 'soundproofing' the walls.  Assuming this is not to prevent the sound entering the rest of your home (in which case 'soundproof' the other side of the wall), if you are damping all four walls, do it lightly with thin material.  In my room I damped the wall behind the speakers with heavier material and kept the other three walls cloth thin. Like you I carpeted the floor, but the ceiling is plaster.

The soundproofing is to reduce the sound outside the listening room. The goal is to be able to listen in the wee hours at reasonably high volume. Damping will be used judiciously.  The LS50s are a bit bright in my ear.
