Can anyone tell me if my columns would likely help, or hurt the acoustics of my HT? I was hoping that they would at least act like bass traps, if they didn't also help the overall sound quality of the room. I'm far from an expert on acoustics, but wouldn't they help reduce echos?

The front row of seats (2 Berkline 45002's with a wedge between them) will be sitting right on the basement floor, so that their backs are 3" in front of the 16" high front part of the riser. The second row of seats (3 45002 Berklines) will be up on the highest level of the riser. Their backs...

Wow Robert! That guy is serious! That's one heck of a set up. I'm REALLY impressed with your HT too Adam. That stage looks great (everything else does too)! One thing I'm left wondering about though, is why so many people install soffits in their HT's? Do soffits improve the acoustics of a...

Thanks for the great input and pictures Adam. That really clears up how I want to construct my ceiling. Having covered the ceiling, the next thing I'm wondering about is wall construction. WALLS One of my main goals is to build my HT so that the ONLY source of light I'll see when I'm...
