Steel door so your wife cant get at you......

Joeb,
If I had a chance to do whatever I want, I would build something like :

Well, at least try to build room with "golden ratio” dimentions.

Thanks for the site info Nar com, and the others. I am looking for an architect to draw up the plans, I have the basic design in mind. I want a south facing window which in itself will affect resonance, but I don't suppose there's any getting around that, except maybe to add wall coverings and a thick carpet

I have a bow window, which is a big no no. I also have a fabulous view of a pond and great light. I have put systems in the basement for purity, but have opted for ambience. I really enjoy the music much more with a great view and nice light. On the other hand I have taken great pains to install heavy duty drapes for when I want do more serious listening and I have added considerable acoustics to make the room still sound great with drapes open.

Thanks to all for advice offered. I did buy Harley's book and now have my room dimension figured to minimize resonant modes. However, that book gives no info re; building materials. Alton Everst has several books that deal with those issues but seem awfully "techno" for my needs. Does anyone know if any of his books offer specific info on the exact materials to use in the room construction? One of his books; "studio....on a budget" discusses the issues but I don't know if he gets right down to the materials issue.
