I have a 19' X 19' 6" garage that I have been given permission by the misses to turn into a HT/Listening room as long as I can still open the garage door. I have a full sized pool table that will be staying in the room but other than that I have a blank canvas.

Since this is an awful echo chamber at this point I have been researching bass traps and other acoustical treatments. My primary concern is with the carpeting. I am not sure if there is a major difference in what kind of carpet I get for the theater or if just any carpet will help defeat standing waves.

Thanks,
Tel
