Don't allow any 90 degree corners. Use dry wall to enclose all the corners to make bass traping. Use the new sheet rock called Quiet Rock I believe. You won't have to double it probably. Use rock wool as insulation. Wire at least one home run per component and then add more. Install a separate electric panel for your room where all audio/video circuits are located.
Build in the design a wood floor. If concrete, build a wood floor over it with 2 by 4 laid flat, then plywood, then carpet.
Use Cardas Golden Ratio Data to determine the best size room for your needs.
Hire Rives Audio for overall room design. As for book cases being diffusors and Traps, go to Real Traps.com and watch the video on diffusion. In fact it would really help you to view all their videos. While you're at it go to the ASC site, readytrap site, and rsc. sites.
I could add more.
I built my room about 3 years ago. If I could build it again, I'd include the ideas I've outlined here. I've learned so much since I built my room originally.
Have fun,
Steve
