Thank you David I will do just that!

Actually I meant books regarding the design of the room. Don't need to get the cart before the horse as they say. JD

OK, in the mean time we will continue working on the design of the room. Are there any books you can suggest to help with this as we are first time HT builders?

No problem! I'll just use her favorite line when she's been shopping "Look at all the money I saved us!" ;) What is the serious sub you refer to?

Thanks Craig, a vaulted ceiling will be tough as this is a basement room. Not impossible, just tough. We are realistically 6 months from construction beginning so I think we have time to check out these new subs. JD

Craig- will probably go with an 8' ceiling but we can change that if necessary as we are still in the planning stage. Would like to keep the cost around $2K and am willing to buy used. Mike & Alan- I have been watching K'horns for sale (these are 1978's) and there always seems to be a pair or...

Wow, excellent information guys! What I'm gathering is that I want uniform frequency response in the primary seating area without reflection from the room acoustics i.e. walls, floor, etc. I can do area rugs which I may be able to manipulate into covering a good portion of the floor between the...

Thanks for the reply Seth, would I want the HT at the end of the length (30') of the width (40')? I can have any wall surface I want and I was thinking of using heavy curtains for sound deadening. I don't really understand how to do the reflection point thing. Am I trying to knock down all sound...

OK people newbie here, first post. Found the site through HT Builder Mag. My wife and I are designing our dream house. The basement will be the audio/HT room. The house will be insulated concrete form construction with radiant floor heating (zoned) under a Permacrete surface. Now we can make...
